It is controlled with this sytem property: ro.factorytest

Possible values:

    public static final int FACTORY_TEST_OFF = 0;

    public static final int FACTORY_TEST_LOW_LEVEL = 1;

    public static final int FACTORY_TEST_HIGH_LEVEL = 2;

You'll need to look in the code to SystemServer and elsewhere to see what all it does.

Sorry but forget to post this question too.

Do I need to set mode for all app need in factory mode ?
Whats the diff when I boot android in normal vs factory mode from system and app point of view ?

The is no mode for apps.  This is for running the system in special modes with security turned off and few things running.  You shouldn't care about any of the normal apps; you should be putting special apps on the device to run factory tests (that will run instead of home).

Is it also named "fast boot" mode?

Yes fastboot is the Android tool for flashing images (and doing other things).
