It shouldnt be "stolen" but it should be overridable.
Much like the app picker behaves when multiple apps are registered for an
Intent.

I dont know how the internals of how the off hook button works but couldnt
it broadcast an Intent to go "off hook" which then can be handled like any
other intent. To avoid the annoying situation of having to choose an app
every time a changeable default could be setup.
(Like how RingDroid replaces the default ringtone picker)
