How to listen all touch events on a jailbreak ios device even the app is running in background

Question

I want to know how can I listen all touch events on a jailbreak ios device even the app is running in background. This feature was implemented in an app named AutoTouch. Any ideas or suggestions?

What have you tried so far? Can you post the code and explain the exact problem you have. — Adam Richardson, Dec 06 '13 at 09:59

It is possible to capture system wide touch events just by private api without jailbreaking (ofcourse it will work on jailbroken device too).. Here's the link. It also contains link to github example.
