Sadly, currently the only way to stop the default camera app for getting
such events would be to actually stop the camera app as I think it gets
the lens cover status from HAL (and I suppose you will not stop the HAL
service for that ;) ).

The easiest way right now would be to run the command (as root, I
suppose):
$ dsmetool -k /usr/bin/camera-ui

Once you are done, you can start the camera app again with:
$ dsmetool -t /usr/bin/camera-ui

I hope this helps.
