Looking at Android code, I've seen that SENSOR_PROXIMITY is managed as
a sensor, but there is no current Android Framework managing events
coming a proximity sensor.
We can see for example that SENSOR_ACCELEROMETER is managed by class
OrientationListener which will provide to Android applications
information about any orientation change :
public void onOrientationChanged(int orientation);

I suggest to do the same for the Proximity. Each time a proximity
detection does occur, or if the object has moved a way, then this new
class will provide to any Android application this proximity update :
public void onProximityChanged(int proximity_distance);
Name of this new class will be ProximityListener

Does everyone agree to say this enhancement would be great since
nothing yet is done in this way ?

Note that I also raised this question there :
