I believe it has been stated by some of the Android development team that the ability to watch buttons (and I would figure this would include touches) is restricted to the foreground application only to prevent things like keyloggers and other spyware types.
I have an application that I would like to watch the volume buttons, which can't be used for spyware or anything like it, and found out I can't even watch those from the background. So I'm pretty sure this isn't, and won't, be available in Android.
