Simple mobile API library

I want a library with a simple API that gives me direct access to a mobile phone's hardware features. Android is very restrictive, with its own intents/activites and life cycle methods. I need a direct API that works in a layer above Linux, bypassing Android if necessary. Or it can work through Andoid, but all the Android-specific quirks (like preparing a viewport before taking a picture with the camera) should be hidden away. The basic idea is to use the mobile phone as a remotely controlled device without human intervention. The API may look something like this :

vibrate()
ring(String ringToneName)
send_sms(String phoneNumber, String message)
start_audio_recording()
stop_audio_recording()
save_audio_recording(String fileName)
set_audio_volume(int volume)
play_audio(String fileName)
is_front_camera_available()
get_camera_resolution()
click_camera_picture()
save_camera_picture(String fileName)
switch_on_LED_flash()
switch_off_LED_flash()
flash_LED_flash(long milliSeconds)

Is there any such library ? Or if somebody knows enough to create one, I am willing to collaborate on the project.
