Hi 

I was trying to use Android Password expiration feature using DeviceAdmin. 
When I call setPasswordExpirationTimeout()  API , it only sends a 
notification and doesnt actually force the user to change the password. It 
only sends a notification after timeout :

V/DevicePolicyManagerService(  662): Sending password expiration 
notifications for action 
com.android.server.ACTION_EXPIRED_PASSWORD_NOTIFICATION

You have to get the callback in DeviceAdminReceiver in onPasswordExpired() 
to force user to change password.

Any specific reason its been implemented this way ( or is it just to give 
flexibility to the programmer ) ?
