-     * instead network notifications.
+     * @deprecated This is temporarily public for tethering to backwards compatibility that uses

+     * CONNECTIVITY_ACTION broadcasts instead of NetworkCallbacks. New caller should use

      * TODO: update said system code to rely on NetworkCallbacks and make this method private.

+     * @param request {@link NetworkRequest} describing this request.

+     *                        the callback must not be shared - it uniquely specifies this request.
+     * @param timeoutMs The time in milliseconds to attempt looking for a suitable network
+     *                  before {@link NetworkCallback#onUnavailable()} is called. The timeout must
+     *                  be a positive value (i.e. >0).
+     * @param legacyType to specify the network type(#TYPE_*).
+     * @param handler {@link Handler} to specify the thread upon which the callback will be invoked.
