We don't have QML APIs for those things yet, but they're on the TODO
list.  We expect to extend the Unity Actions interface to support those
use-cases.  For now you can use the lower level libraries documented
here:

http://developer.ubuntu.com/resources/platform/api/12-10/

There is libmessagingmenu for the messaging menu and libunity provides
helper functions to make your app appear in the sound menu easily.

As far as touch vs. desktop, all of the indicators on the touch platform
are converged already so there is no difference between what is running
on touch and on the desktop.
