So if there is more instance of a sensor the user will have to pick the
sensor he/she wants to use? And I'm not sure how using a remote sensor
would make sense... In addition, I was assuming only applications were
able to handle an intent.
IMO, the API should whether provide a way to access the multiple sensors
or just provide an unified value.
