[android-developers] Re: Configuring global proxy from code

You cannot set a global proxy as you noticed that it is denied with
permission. Only apps that are signed with the same certificate of the
firmware can set the proxy(permission level 3).

One thing that you can do is to set a per connection based proxy. You
can set proxy separately for WIFI and APN also. Under advanced setting
in WIFI you set WIFI proxy and for APN you already know as you did in
emulator.

Hope this helps.

Thanks
Krishna
