Tiger's finished his internship, so hoping that smaier (or wnwen?) can take this to the finish line. The remaining work should be captured in his unsubmitted reviews:

Plus actually enabling the errorprone check.
According to Android Studio, we currently have 191 usages of Context.getApplicationContext(). Given the amount of smart refactoring that has to be done at each site (knowing when to get rid of stored Context variables, fixing all usages of an unnecessary Context params in a function), it seems too big for me to work on right now. If people have ideas on a subset of these that matter more, or a way of doing this more automatically, I'd consider picking it back up.
