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.
