Fluentlenium and Appium - AppiumDriver management

for managing chromeDriver i am creating my own Factory:

@FactoryName("exampleFactoryName")
public class ExampleFactory implements WebDriverFactory {
    @Override
    public WebDriver newWebDriver(Capabilities desiredCapabilities, ConfigurationProperties configuration) {
        //creating driver
}

Then i can access this driver by getDriver();

My question: is it possible for fluentlenium to manage AppiumDriver? I can see there is getAppiumDriver() method. What is it used for?

Thanks!
