Headset Button Controller is very configurable, allowing you to play music, change tracks, adjust volume, answer phone calls, start Voice Command and many other things, just by clicking the button on your headset.
Once you have configured Headset Button Controller with your preferences, it runs in the background using almost no CPU. It is shipped with a default configuration profile, but you can change almost every action performed. It has been tested with a wide variety of different Android devices and music apps and works with both single-button headsets, and Android-specific 3-button headsets.
Default configuration for single-button headsets (center button for 3-button headsets):

* Double press: next track (+ decline call / mute microphone)
* Triple press: previous track

Notes
* Headset Button Controller cannot support the separate volume control buttons on the iPhone headset – this is a limitation of the Android framework.
* Make sure that this app does not get stopped by a task killer (the background process consumes almost no CPU).

What’s in this version : (Updated : Jan 4, 2013)
NEW workaround for the HTC redial problem: Automatically adds a dummy call with unknown caller to the call list. This prevents that double click triggers redial (see advanced options).
