Nvidia Shield - Right analog and mouse cursor.

I have been adding controller support to a project I have been working on. I have Ouya, Green Throttle, and a Moga Controller functioning and I am currently trying to get the Nvidia Shield working.

Everything pretty much worked out of the box, but… the right analog sick controls the device mouse/pointer by default. 

There is a way to blanket turn this off in the shield device settings, but requiring users to do this seems impractical as it is a nice feature when not in app.

Is there a way from in corona to disable this while in app? (I already have in-app navigation available using the game pad, so there is no need for a pointer)

This problem currently makes the app unusable since while playing if the pointer moves up to the status bar the app loses focus.
