Silence Klaxon with the volume button (like Android calls)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When there's an incoming call in Android, it is possible to silence it
(it's kept alive, but it no longer rings aloud) by hitting any of the
volume buttons (up or down). I would like for Klaxon to do the same.

When I'm oncall at my desktop, and I hear the alert in the phone, I can
more easily ack it via other means (IRC, web, whatever), and I just want
to get working on it. Having to unlock the phone to get Klaxon to shut
up is an unwelcome step (hitting one of the volume buttons, on the other
hand, is immediate).

By the way, thanks for Klaxon, it's great!

I took a quick look at this, and it doesnt appear to be possible.

Klaxon itself is not running, and the NotificationManager doesnt appear to 
handle this situation very well. (i did come across a lot of complaints in my 
search, but no solution).

i'd like to leave this open, in the event it becomes possible later.

If you have a popup window (asked for in Issue #43) would that allow the volume 
(or other) button to work since the application would be running?
