schedule_delayed_work() is conditional because it should get invoke when onkey button is 
pressed and not when released. For this reason onkey event is first queried and work is
scheduled only when event is present. Now when work is scheduled, onkey event gets
queried and in absence of the onkey event work will not get schedule again. By this logic I'm able
to simulated the release of the onkey button.
