If I am going to register a BroadcastReceiver in Java code (vs. via the
manifest), I tend to just make it an anonymous inner class:

BroadcastReceiver onBatteryChanged=new BroadcastReceiver() {
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// something useful here
}
};

You can see an example of this for receiving ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED
broadcast Intents here:

The same techniques should work for you for your media button.
