I tried this a few days ago, and couldn't find a way to do it in pure Java. There can of course still be a way to do it, but it does also look like screenshot apps are using native code as part of their implementation.
I'm still pretty new on Android development, but I don't think that the real phone is listening on a socket under normal circumstances. It will listen on the USB channel. I think I've seen a post that said something being able to use ethernet over USB, but I can't remember where, and I don't know if it helps.
