[android-developers] Re: Generate key events on foreground application

You can't, and you shouldn't. This would be a serious security hole.

What you can and should do, is let the user send the text to the
application of his choice.

For example, wrap an ACTION_SEND intent in a chooser, and run that
activity, and the user will be prompted with a choice of email, SMS,
and other options for sending the information along. This is quite
easy and works quite well. But you may be expecting to interface to an
application that doesn't support ACTION_SEND.

I'm not sure about the best way to get it into a notepad application.
ACTION_INSERT should get you a new note, if you use a suitable URI for
the application. Perhaps someone else has other suggestions.
