You would have to ask the device manufacturer that question. Non-standard buttons, by definition, are non-standard, so the device manufacturer would need to document their use. In particular, you would need to know if there is a broadcast
Intentsent out if the button is pushed and is not used by the current activity, as is the case for the camera and media buttons today.
