As far as I can see, Android does not currently support playing sound (beeps or other) through a mono (SCO) BT headset. I believe that BT stereo (A2DP) headsets work, though. Have not tried. You might want to check this thread for more info: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=7906
As for getting info on headset button activations in your app, I believe that this requires support for the AVRCP profile. Again, this is commonly seen for stereo headsets, but not for mono. I don't think that the Android BT stack supports AVRCP. This wikipedia article gives a good intro to BT profiles, if you need that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile If you manage to get it to work, be aware that the various manufacturer's interpretation of the BT spec tend to vary a bit... In other words: I'd recommend to test the functionality with every headset that you wish to claim supported by your app. Good luck!
