I'm just joinning the community, so "Hello, Android"

I thought it could be useful when browsing an Application (e.g. one
just installed) to be able to have information about the presence of
OptionsMenu and ContextMenu.
So that the user can know visually if Menu Button pressing button  or
long touching on a View can provide him more options, without having
to try every element on the screen.
I believe its useful feature for a comprehensive and easy HCI.

I'm trying to implement this idea through the API, with something like
Service and/or a Receiver, listening for Window/ Stack changes.

1) What should a Receiver listen about for such changes or, if no luck
in that, which System Service could provide me with an approproate
listener? Ofcourse an event is much more preferable than a power-
consuming Timer looking for changes.

2) Having caught the top Activity, is there a way to updateits UI
elements, for example dim bright shortly a View or mark it somehow.
This a less important problem, but equally intrested. Could be
bypaseed with a Notification of some type, but with carefull design
should be very pleasant..

Are these issues dealt through the API, or only with FrameWork level
work?

Thank you in advance,
Stelios Chatziefstratiou
