[android-developers] Re: Can Android apps get data from the smartphone's acclerometer while the phone is sleeping, or would the app cause a wake lock by monitoring the sensor's activity?

The app itself would need to keep the CPU awake, so even if there was some kind of low level channel to the accelerometer (maybe there is, i dont know) you'd still need to keep the phone up to process the information.

(P.S, the app wouldn't cause a wake lock, it needs to take one)
