Reading QR Code natively from camera on Android device

Can I make my phone camera natively read QR code and take necessary action without opening the specific application to read it? I don't want to open the application to read these QR codes.

I am developing an android application which requires the following functionality. Please let me know how I can do it.

Thanks,

Spinning on @Sid's answer, the Mobile Vision API is my preferred way to go. It contain Google's own barcode detector classes and I use it in production apps with great result.

If you like a simpler interface that just opens the camera and returns the QR-code (or barcode) upon detection, this tutorial will probably be most useful. It contains all the stipped down classes you need as well.
