Hardware interrupt API for Linux

When I am going to connect device through USB port, I want to detect it immediately. I am searching for a Java API, my main target is Linux OS.

Does anyone know an API like that?

You can do something like this:

try {
    String command = "lsusb"; // you may add some param if you want
                              // or use adb for instance
    Process child = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);

    // Get output stream to write from it
    OutputStream out = child.getOutputStream();

    // TODO parsing lsusb output

    out.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
}
