###Using Chrome-based CustomTabs is Easy:

var url = "https://www.xamarin.com";
var customTabsIntent = new CustomTabsIntent.Builder().Build();
CustomTabActivityHelper.OpenCustomTab(this, customTabsIntent, Uri.Parse(url), new WebviewFallback());

If Chrome is not installed, you have complete control over a fallback, the above example is using a WebView-based Activity as the fallback

• Logcat output (Chrome Beta installed and being used):

• Logcat output (Chrome is not install, using WebView:

When using the KeepAliveService via AddKeepAliveExtra(...), you can monitor your application's Importanceand its elevation viaLogImportance`:

mLogImportance = new LogImportance();
mLogImportance.Run();

Logcat output before launching a Chrome CustomTab:

[LogImportance] New importance = Foreground

Logcat output after launching a Chrome CustomTab:

[LogImportance] New importance = Foreground (Reason: Service in use)

##Chrome Custom Tabs:

Re: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/custom-tabs-client

Chrome Custom Tabs provides a way for an application to customize and interact with a Chrome Activity on Android. This makes the web content feel like being a part of the application, while retaining the full functionality and performance of a complete web browser.

###CustomTabs Reading Material
