Thanks for the reply.. I understand that blocking could be a security issue. But enabling/ disabling should not be a problem. For example, if the app disables the 'installing non-market apps" feature from my app, the user can go to settings and enable it back. Something like this would do.. Coz I know that this is possible for bluetooth n wifi.. The application could be the device admin if needs to..
