Here is my hack to get notified when a screenshot is taken.

public void detectScreenShotService(final Activity activity){

   final Handler h = new Handler();
   final int delay = 3000; //milliseconds
   final ActivityManager am=(ActivityManager)activity.getSystemService(Context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);

    h.postDelayed(new Runnable(){
        public void run(){

            List rs=am.getRunningServices(200);

            for(ActivityManager.RunningServiceInfo ar:rs){
                if(ar.process.equals("com.android.systemui:screenshot")){
                    Toast.makeText(activity,"Screenshot captured!!",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                }
            }
            h.postDelayed(this, delay);
        }
    }, delay);

}

Tested on Oneplus 2 and Moto E.

Update:

This finally didn't work for me and i ended up using a ContentObserver on screenshot type of entries.
