I know this will do the trick of securing the activity

getWindow().setFlags(LayoutParams.FLAG_SECURE,LayoutParams.FLAG_SECURE);

I need to place my own custom view instead of the blank default view.

Regarding this duplicate, onCreateThumbnail is not getting called. and the ref provided is not actually working for me

The answer to this question's duplicate is correct according to Android's documentation, but there is a years old bug (still open after 5 years) that prevents this from working correctly. Unfortunately, there is no really acceptable workaround. See https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36945159 – GreyBeardedGeek May 01 '17 at 18:42
