For what it's worth I have a selfie device which I picked up at SCaLE.
It's not a stick but just a bluetooth button on a keyring.

Kinda like this thing:- http://shopping.rediff.com/product/bluetooth-
remote-shutter-portable-selfie-clicker-for-iphone-ipad-android-
sa/12547946

You'll note it has two buttons.

Using xev on my desktop I discovered that the "iOS" button presses Vol+.
The "Android" button presses Enter.

Android button press:-

Title:
  Selfie stick not supported

Status in Canonical System Image:
  In Progress
Status in camera-app package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  I had a chance to play with a selfie stick: http://bit.ly/1KIYkBc

  Working fine on iOS it didn't do anything on Ubuntu.  I had enough
  time to check out what what keycode it sends when pressing the shutter
  button: Qt.Key_MediaTogglePlayPause

  So I guess all it takes is to add a Keys.onPressed handler to the
  camera app and trigger the photo shutter or start/stop recording when
  in video mode.
