Detect Bump On Bottom Of iPhone

Question

I have been doing a lot of research in the area of an iPhone's magnetometer, gyroscope and accelerometer, but can't seem to a good conclusion.

Things I have tried so far:

Acceleration in one direction to detect a stop. (Always detected when person is holding phone, and seems to just move in that direction)
Gyroscope angle changing directions regarding the way in which a person is holding the device. (Not consistent because trying to get shake to work with this as well)
Bump API/Existing Code (Does not work)

Has anyone come across a solid solution for detecting a tap on the bottom of and iPhone, against an object? Preferably with sample code.

Perhaps this is what you are looking for? It's a set of custom wrappers around the hardware that is designed specifically for detecting "accidents", which sounds like what you're looking for.
