Capturing image on Android Camera

Is it possible to capture a photo on an Android, without having to exit your app? In other words, can you capture a photo (or video) with the camera running in the background. 

I’m pretty sure you can’t having read all the forums, but wanted to double check in case I missed something. 

Thanks

You can’t run things in your background with Corona SDK.
