I found an answer here: http://groups.google.com/group/android-beginners/browse_frm/thread/b068dfe35ebbb5fe/030538a5c2147a97?lnk=gst&q=default+camera+pradeep#030538a5c2147a97
Put this in your manifest: <receiver android:name=".MyReceiver"> <intent-filter android:priority="10000"> <action android:name="android.intent.action.CAMERA_BUTTON"/> </intent-filter> </receiver> The main element that makes it work, according to Pradeep, is the 'priority' attribute. Also, putting abortBroadcast() helps, but i'm not sure about that. It seems that the CAMERA_BUTTON broadcast is un-ordered.
