Google teased 'Android Halo' at I/O, a system-level UI layer for Android 17 that shows what AI agents are doing on your phone at a glance. When Gemini Spark is working on background tasks, Halo provides persistent visual indicators at the top of the screen. It's the first mobile OS to build agent-status monitoring directly into the system UI rather than confining it to app-level notifications.
