Specifies RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED for FlashNotificationsController broadcast receiver
After changing Flash Notifications preview broadcasts to be protected, there is no need to specify RECEIVER_EXPORTED or RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED for the receiver. These flags are only required for runtime receivers that listen to non-system broadcast(s). However, if a receiver is registered for only system broadcasts along with the RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED flag, the platform will honor this flag, and only root or system UIDs will be able to send the system broadcast(s) to this receiver. Since Flash Notifications preview can only be triggered by settings app for now, changing the receiver flag to RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED can best avoid this receiver from potential vulnerabilities.
