If you want to use your own Device Policy Controller, you will do nothing with AMAPI what so ever. You'll be responsible for building policies and sending them to devices, for app installation (APK only), and user management. The AMAPI does not support custom device owner apps.

{
"android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_COMPONENT_NAME": "com.android.client/com.android.utils.AdminReceiver",
"android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_PACKAGE_CHECKSUM": "checksum generated from dowloaded APK",
"android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_DEVICE_ADMIN_PACKAGE_DOWNLOAD_LOCATION": "https://android-android.s3.eu-1.amazonaws.com/Android-74.apk",
"android.app.extra.PROVISIONING_ADMIN_EXTRAS_BUNDLE": {
"com.google.android.apps.work.clouddpc.EXTRA_ENROLLMENT_TOKEN": "YLEHSBDKDBDWTJESJGOLAFKN"
}
}

To get this working, you'll need to generate the package checksum (or use the admin signature checksum in its place), and remove the bolded section, as your DPC won't support that.

From this json you can create a QR code, then tap 6 times on the welcome screen of the device (not the button) until the camera comes up. Scan the code and it'll set your app to DO.

Your app will have to talk to your own server application, and fetch the policies and configurations from that accordingly.
