You can't do that.

In fact, in the case of live wallpapers, it doesn't make much sense, because
there is literally nothing behind it.  It is at the bottom of the stack of
things the user can see.

Sorry, you are correct.

I still want to gain access to the screen image. My Live Wallpaper
could work a lot better if it knew what it was behind. If you can't do
it, then you can't do it.

Android relies on the platform for security, rather than people reviewing

I doubt any Apple employees are on this discussion group, and if they
are, there's a fairly decent chance they will decline to answer your
question.

If this is your activity and your image, you don't need a screenshot
for that. You know what the image is, you know the zoom level and size
-- draw it to a Bitmap-backed Canvas and save the result.
