Android tries to verify host despite android:autoVerify="false"

Is this an Android bug?

Since the behavior appears to be documented, I would describe it as a limitation. Quoting the documentation:

When the android:autoVerify attribute is present, installing your app causes the system to attempt to verify all hosts associated with the web URIs in all of your app's intent filters.

(emphasis added)

My interpretation of that is that if auto-verify behavior is all-or-nothing at the app level. It is unclear to me why they wrote it that way. If that is the long-term plan, I would have expected the autoVerify attribute to be on <application>.

How do I make sure that IntentFilterIntentService only verifies the intent filter for which I have set android:autoVerify="true" and leaves the other one out?

Put them in separate apps, I guess.
