[android-developers] Re: hooking to the PHONE button
Now you're just arguing semantics.
I never said he could steal it, that would be quite a stupid thing for the
OS to allow.
Registering for that Intent allows him to do what he wants in the context of
when he is allowed to do it.
Therefore it answers his question (or at least gets him as close as he is
ever going to get)

There's your answer!

Oh the -default- handling of the green key is this:
private void startCallActivity() {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL_BUTTON);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

}
So you can write an activity that implements that action. You can -
not- however generally intercept the green key: if the app handles it
yourself (such as pressing the green key while highlighting a phone
number to place a call) you won't run.

What about when the user is on the home screen?
