Android Beam: suppress “Tab to beam”

Question

I have been developing an Android application which sends NDEF messages via Android Beam and a desktop application which receives them.

Everything works as expected; however, I personally believe that the Android Beam "Tab to beam"-screen is too circumstantial. Is there a method to suppress this screen and simply send the data after, for instance, clicking a button?

Thanks.

It is not possible unless you root your device. I have hacked the Nfc.apk for my Galaxy Nexus to remove the "tap to beam" UI. This is obviously very dirty and will remove the feature for every other application too.
