Check out Seismic from Square. I haven't used it yet in my own work, but from the example you can declare a shake listener like the following:

public class Demo extends Activity implements ShakeDetector.Listener {
  @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    SensorManager sensorManager = (SensorManager) getSystemService(SENSOR_SERVICE);
    ShakeDetector sd = new ShakeDetector(this);
    sd.start(sensorManager);

    TextView tv = new TextView(this);
    tv.setGravity(CENTER);
    tv.setText("Shake me, bro!");
    setContentView(tv, new LayoutParams(MATCH_PARENT, MATCH_PARENT));
  }

  public void hearShake() {
    Toast.makeText(this, "Don't shake me, bro!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
  }
}

This is actually a really nice looking API – Justin Jasmann Feb 12 '13 at 16:41

i am using platform 2.3.3 and api label 10 but it doesnt show anything in the emulator @johncarl – ImonBayazid Feb 13 '13 at 05:15
Like I mentioned, I have not used this in a project but I don't think this requires much from your project. Have you tried it on a physical device? – John Ericksen Feb 13 '13 at 05:30
