Android: Listen for a voice command (all the time)

问题:

I have a fairly popular application in Android market, which allows tens of thousands of its users to press a button and give it a voice command. Then I am able to do many different things, like give them current weather forecast, etc...

Anyhow, I came to a point where am getting asked almost every day by users of my app, that they don't want to be pressing a button all the time. They want my app to launch by a trigger word (some specific word command). In that way, app would wake up and ask them for a voice command, all hands free.

I understand that this would require a nonstop listening, it could be a battery eater, etc. But I want to give it a try. Anyhow, and this is why I am here. I simply don't know how to go about it.

I know it's possible, these guys did it and not only that, they listen to a trigger word even when the phone is in the sleeping mode or behind a locked screen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dd2vo_9euOY

Any ideas on how this could be done? How did the guys above do it? How? Any examples?

Thanks in advance.

NoiseAlert is an Application that launches when there is a loud ambient noise, it pays attention to the noise amplitude and also contains wakelocks.

You may use this as an reference. I think you have already implemented the Speeck recognition part.
