虽然是老技术了，不过还是值得学习一下。
例子中截屏作为一个开机启动的后台service，在需要截屏的任何地方(系统servic或其他APK)，发送 Intent "com.android.CAPTURE_SCREEN" 即可
我的测试版本是2.3.4，其它不保证能用 源码：ScreenCap

示例代码在:
frameworksbaseservicessurfaceflingertestsscreencapscreencap.cpp

    SkImageEncoder::EncodeFile(argv[1], b,
            SkImageEncoder::kPNG_Type, SkImageEncoder::kDefaultQuality);
    return 0;
}

编译后生成 /system/bin/test-screencap
测试时终端输入 test-screencap /mnt/sdcard/scapxx.png
可以看到SD卡生成截屏文件scapxx.png，默认大小为屏幕分辨率
如果想把这个功能写到自己的应用里
写个JNI，参考上面代码即可，但记得权限声明

可以在你的Acitvity或Service里面调用 ScreenCapNative.startCaptureScreen();来截屏
4.0源码已经公布了，大家不要花时间研究2.3的截屏了
当然最好是系统级实现，响应某个组合键来截屏，像Android4.0
