For Receiving camera photo capture intent, try following code

public class CameraEventReciver extends BroadcastReceiver {

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

       Toast.makeText(context, "New Photo Clicked", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

    } 

and in manifest, register the receiver:-

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />

   <receiver
        android:name="com.android.application.CameraEventReciver"
        android:enabled="true" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.android.camera.NEW_PICTURE" />
            <data android:mimeType="image/*" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>
