Apps A way to take screenshots without root using a service?

Hello everyone! I'm new to the forum and have read what needed to be read, so here i am, asking my first of possibly many questions.

Explained below is what the app is/does and what i'm trying to do to accomplish this app. If anyone has any suggestions on what i can do to better improve or need to change to make work, please suggest it to me. I'm open to all, i'm here to learn.

I have an app idea to use the code for learning from. So far, i have learned a lot with the code. The app i am building is a way to play the game "Don't touch the white tile". Yes, the app could be considered cheating, but i'm only using it to learn what i can from trying to get it to work.

So far in my app, i have created a service that runs and displays two switches and a line. I can navigate around other apps with the switches and line floating above everything. I have been able to take a multiple screenshots when running an activity (separate app).

I have 4 milestones. I have finished the first one (create a service), now i'm on the second one, which is to take a screenshot with the service.

If anyone can suggest a way to do so without a rooted phone or has a better suggestion on how i can go about doing this, please let me know!

I have added my project in as a .zip in the attachments (up-to-date [29 May 14, 12:30 PM CST]).

You can also view my Github (not up-to-date [23 May 14, 10:27 PM CST]), which has the program as well.
