Android API 18 introduced the onKey method AccessibilityService along with 
the necessary flags to enable filtering KeyEvents. What system service/ 
method deals with the delivery of these events, and *is it possible to 
register for key events when the screen is off*?

I've noticed that hardware button events are not passed to 
AccessibilityService when the screen is off, which I'm guessing has to do 
with the dangers of overriding this behavior and preventing the device from 
unlocking. However, I'm interested in handling hardware buttons for the 
camera/ volume/ events other than the power button. Is this possible at 
present, or is such a feature being considered? If not, perhaps 
AccessibilityServiceInfo could include a list of KeyEvents the service 
wants to register for when the screen is off and have the service only send 
those?
