DDMS sends a string that essentially says "give me a screenshot" to the device, which sends back image data, all through a socket. You could in theory take the DDMS code and repurpose it to your needs. You might start by taking a look at system/core/adb/framebuffer_service.c and who calls it. Bear in mind that you can't screencapture on the device unless you're running as root. DDMS gets around this by sending the string to a root process.
