# Multi-Process Apps | Sentry for Android

The Sentry Android SDK will not automatically initialize in non-main processes because of `ContentProvider`. If you'd like to automatically `auto-init` the Sentry Android SDK in other processes, add the following to `AndroidManifest.xml`:

```xml
<provider
  android:name="io.sentry.android.core.SentryInitProvider"
  android:authorities="${applicationId}.SentryInitProvider"
  android:exported="false"
  android:process="YOUR_PROCESS_HERE"
  tools:node="merge"
/>
```

Alternatively, you can call `SentryAndroid.init(...)` in each process where you want to initialize Sentry.
