''' 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.
