A:
The app sandbox prevents apps from knowing what other apps (including the Camera app) are doing except via explicit communication (e.g. registered URL handlers, shared VOIP network connection, etc.), at least under the stock OS when sticking to apps that comply with the SDK agreement.

It is possible in Android, where I have implemented a no. of features where receiving notifications to any other app. like camera/incoming call/sms/mms is possible. I wish Apple offered similar features. Does it at least provide a file system listener? If the native camera app stores an image in a certain directory, can a background app receive notification for that?
