BlackBerry - Key AreaListener with a global scope

I am new to BlackBerry app development. I want to be able to listen to keypress events whenever the BlackBerry (8900 in my case) is turned on and is it possible on all screens?

If so, it would be great if someone directed me in the right direction. I am already looking at the KeyListener interface.

import net.rim.device.api.system.*;

Thank you all

Implement keylistenerClass as:

import model.Profile;

import net.rim.device.api.system.KeyListener;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.Keypad;


public final class ShortcutHandler implements KeyListener {

    public boolean keyChar(char key, int status, int time) {
        return false;
    }

    public boolean keyDown(int keycode, int time) {
        if (Keypad.KEY_ESCAPE == Keypad.key(keycode)) {
                        // Consume the event.
                        // Here I'm consuming the event for the escape key
            return true;
        }
                //let the system to pass the event to another listener.
        return false;
    }

    public boolean keyRepeat(int keycode, int time) {
        return false;
    }

    public boolean keyStatus(int keycode, int time) {
        return false;
    }

    public boolean keyUp(int keycode, int time) {
        return false;
    }

}

Then in your application constructor

public Application() {

    //Add the listener to the system for this application
    addKeyListener(new ShortcutHandler());
}

I confirm that it works when the application is in the background.
