I would like to ask, if it is possible to list notice files, using this library(Apache license requires it).

The plugin pulls the whole license text from SPDX and includes it as string resource with the json format.
With the UI offering the ability then to display that exact text in the UI of the app.

However it is worth noting, this project does not aim to modify the NOTICE or LICENSE information shipped with libraries. The AboutLibraries purpose is focused on displaying the information and giving proper attribution in the UI for all dependencies.

This responsibility falls into the packaging solution of your project. e.g. Gradle building the APK to contain relevant files of dependencies.

(based on different sources, maintainers of libraires may even choose to not have a NOTICE file, however that may differ project by projecT: github/choosealicense.com#701 (comment))
