Control screen brightness in Android devices?

Hi, I have seen that with Phonegap through plug-in, Titanium and of course with Java, you can access the device brightness control. 

I have not been able to find this option in the Corona API does not exist? 

Is there any way to do this? 

I need my Android application will always run at 100% brightness, but I want to close it again to stop the brightness as we had the user. 

thank you very much
