How to recognize remote control hold?

Question

Is there a way to recognize when the Apple Earphone Remote Control button is held, instead of initiating Voice Control? I mean, disable Voice Control and do something else instead when the button is long pressed?

I know it has already been asked in How to receive single tap and hold Remote-Control Event with iOS?, but this answer does not solve my problem.

According to UIEventType under UIEventSubtype you will get these 4 events from Earbuds

UIEventSubtypeRemoteControlTogglePlayPause
UIEventSubtypeRemoteControlPlay
UIEventSubtypeRemoteControlPause
UIEventSubtypeRemoteControlStop

There is not any subevent defined related to Long press of the button.

Yes, I've seen that. But I wonder if there is another way to detect it. Even using Apple's Private API. – Bianca Lodoli Sep 03 '15 at 13:59
