Instead of cursor position you might use the position where the screen is touched, using dispatchTouchEvent(). For retrieving labels (strings) of running programs you likely need to dig deep into
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=tree while anything you would change there will not be available to (blind) end users with production devices. By the way, I similarly inquired about future screen reader functionality last month in a post at http://groups.google.com/group/tts-for-android/browse_frm/thread/ef1e91b4c84cfc79 but that discussion did not yield much feedback yet.
