That depends on what you mean.
Bluez-IME has a HID basic implementation, and you can use that to implement a 
HID reader that reads mouse motion. 

This will not add HID support to the kernel, so you will not be able to use 
Bluez-IME to gain plug-n-play mouse support.

After reading the mouse data, you need to figure out how to send this data to 
Android.

Does this answer your question?
Normally only the kernel can inject messages like this, so you need root access.

Do i need to extend HID reader class ? then only need to implement abstract 
methods defined at the bottom name "handleHIDMessage()" and 
"getSupportedReportCodes()" ?

There is an app Blueinput which connects with Bluetooth mouse , pointer is not 
visible but there is focus which moves when we move left or right and opens app 
when clicked by mouse.

Yes, extending HIDReader would be a good start.
I guess the other apps are sending DPAD_LEFT, DPAD_RIGHT and DPAD_CENTER, that 
should give the results you report.
