Displays a dialog when taking a picture of the screen

I need to block a screen capture and display a dialog box for the user when trying to capture a screenshot. Here I can only block the user from taking a picture of the screen but it is difficult to access the user when taking a picture of the screen.

if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= 
     android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) {
        getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SECURE,  
      WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SECURE);
}

How do I show a dialog box containing a message to the user when taking a picture of the screen?

Sorry, there is nothing in Android to allow you to detect a screenshot, let alone display alternative content. Your options are to block portions of your UI using FLAG_SECURE (as noted in your question) or not.
