This trigger can be configured to fire when a device is placed in or removed from a dock. You can select to allow any type of dock or restrict to only desk or car docks.
This trigger will fire when the device is docked or undocked. For docking events, you can also specify the type of dock (desk or car).

''' Notes '''
* The dock type is determined by the Android system based on the dock hardware.
* Not all docks report their type correctly - some may report as "desk" dock when they are car docks or vice versa.
* This trigger listens for the ACTION_DOCK_EVENT system broadcast.
* Wireless charging stands may not trigger dock events unless they are specifically designed to report as docks.
