[android-developers] How to wake the device with wired headset play/pause button press

Before i begin : I have spent a lot of time trying to get my 2.1 device to wake from sleep when i press the play/pause button on the wired headset (the standard one that comes shipped with most phones)

I have an intent filter that collects the event IF the activity is displayed on the 'awakened' device, but no when the device is in sleep.

if i use wakelock to keep the screen on , then naturally, the battery is hammered, so the question is this:L

How can i register a wakelock for the headset action?

Thanks for any input folks,

Fred
