Android Question How can I detect hook switch without focus

[Levisvv]

I know that while my app has focus I can capture this event:
If KeyCode = KeyCodes.KEYCODE_HEADSETHOOK

but I need to capture this event in a service even when my app is not in focus (not in the foreground)
does anybody know the best way to accomplish this?

You can try to intercept it by intercepting the android.intent.action.MEDIA_BUTTON intent. It is difficult to get it working reliably as this intent is caught by other OS apps on many devices.
