What is exported in Android manifest?

The exported attribute is used to define if an activity, service, or receiver in your app is accessible and can be launched from an external application. As a practical example, if you try to share a file you'll see a set of applications available.

Your APK file can contain just one AndroidManifest.xml file, but your Android Studio project may contain several—provided by the main source set, build variants, and imported libraries. So when building your app, the Gradle build merges all manifest files into a single manifest file that's packaged into your APK.

The manifest merger tool combines all XML elements from each file by following some merge heuristics and by obeying merge preferences that you have defined with special XML attributes.

I have included the summary about the merger manifest.
