Use SensorEventListener instead. There is quite good explanation of it in the docs. Accelorometer is probably the sensor you want to use here.

As Xion said, use SensorEventListener. There are many examples of this here on SO; for instance, check out this one. For testing shakes in an emulator, something like SensorSimulator might also help.
