What about function keys? Is it possible to tie together a set of

the background?

You can be notified when select dedicated hardware keys are pressed:
ACTION_CAMERA_BUTTON
ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON
If what you want is to have a notification that the user can swipe
down and click to go back to your application, then you don't really
need to be handling key events whilst your activity is paused. What
you could do is create a service which displays the notification, and
then use an intent to
My application behavior is similar to voice call, but I need also to handle
key events. My application is still running in background and the activity
is paused. Is there a way to receive key events in such situation? When the
call screen is paused, it receives end call key event. Can I receive a
perhaps is there a way to intercept all key events globally before
they are dispatched to the apps?

When your application is paused, which activity is in the foreground?

No, you can't do this. The home and end call keys are trapped by the system
before being delivered to the application, and handled by itself.

I don't want to handle end call or home keys. I just want to handle another
key, such as space bar, while my Activity is in background.

Whenever I press a key, will the Bookmark activity handle it? Is it a
default behavior that can *not* be configured?

On Tue,
I really hope that this is *not* possible.
A background application that steals key-strokes is not a good idea.
I won't doubt that your application only has good itentions, but the
idea that i could be downloading a key-stroke sniffer is not very
appealing. I'd rather not have my passwords
In fact I do need to handle key strokes. It would be easier if I could
handle home key, so that I could prevent the user from going to home screen.
I think it's not a good approach to finish my Activity when it's paused as
well. And it would be very boring for the user to go back to the Activity
