listen shake event when I am @ home screen in android

Question

I implemented shake event form this.

1. But how can I listen shake event in home screen?

2. Is there any broadcast receiver or I have to create service for listen shake event?

I found How to check If I am currently on home screen to get homescreen focued but for default only. If I have custom home launcher then How can I recognize that launcher. Is Manifest is having any identification for launcher application???

Help is needed. Thanks.

Answer 1

You have to create a Service that listens for the shake event.
