If you just need to capture long clicks, this answer might be helpful:

EDIT:
I have never tried to have a key listener inside a service, but with a little help from Google I found this: Volume change listener?
It seems that normal key events can only be handled from Activities. I do not have time to try this out myself, but for capturing long clicks it might be possible to combine the answer from the link and Lukes answer. From what I understand about BroadcastReceivers, you would want to create a receiver, that notify the Service whenever someone click the volume buttons.
Optionally you could do something like this:
if(clickedDown) {
if(beginningTime + 2000 < System.currentTimeMillis()) {
// Ok, the button has been clicked down for 2 seconds
}
}
else {
beginningTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
}
Applying something like this, you'll be able to define the amount of time to wait.
