Option to bypass "Tap to accept" when a picture is taken using Intent

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Scenario:
---------
I am designing an app for blind users. They need to take a picture. I 
implemented it by broadcasting the image capture intent. But it shows the 
picture preview with "tap to accept" notification. This is totally unnecessary 
and confusing for my user group because they can not see the preview.

Feature Request:
----------------
I need a feature to remove the "tap to accept" notification or not to show it 
at all.

Problem with alternative:
------------------------
I can not use the other method of Calling Camera object because it needs a 
preview and running the preview for some time makes the glass very hot and 
uncomfortable to use.

Hello,

Thanks for the feature request! Unfortunately, this is currently working as 
intended as it works the same way as the regular Android API.

However, you can work around this by using your own Activity to take a picture: 
you don't have to get the preview running the entire time but only start it 
when a picture is requested and stop it right away.

Best,
Alain
