There would have to be something in Android to tell brltty so, like
xbrlapi does by calling brlapi_setFocus.

Or possibly brltty could determine it by itself in a screen driver.

I don't know the communication capabilities of a chroot or a container
on Android, but BrlAPI can use a Unix socket or a TCP/IP socket, I guess
that could be used.
