Is it possible to programmatically block / disable Factory Reset in android?

So far googling and cracking my head on this one, I have not found a suitable answer for this, but I did find one "Seqrite MDM" application that says they can block Factory Reset. I'm still wondering if this is possible?

This is possible for specific manufacturers and devices. For example, Samsung has an SDK: https://seap.samsung.com/api-references/android-standard/reference/android/app/enterprise/RestrictionPolicy.html#allowFactoryReset(boolean) which will control access to this. Several other manufacturers have similar functionality, but Android does not support this as far as I know.



Stock Android now supports this using Device Owner Mode.
