how to capture long press volume down key in android?

Question

Just wondering whether anyone could tell me how to capture the long keypress of the volume down key in android.

Elaborated question:

I wanted to create a BroadcastReceiver which will receive volume long keypress event. (without any UI interaction). I know it's possible for the search button. is it available for the Volume Keys?

Thanks

may be below code will help you:

@Override
public boolean onKeyLongPress(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
  if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_VOLUME_DOWN) {
     // to your stuff here
     return true;
  }
  return super.onKeyLongPress(keyCode, event);
}
