Not that I know of. Some phones support a kind of "pull" of this
information via AT commands, but quite a lot of recent smartphones
don't implement the full command set which would be useful for this.
For those phones, pushing the information might however be not too
difficult to implement.

Yes, I'm working on it.

I'm planning to make this configurable, but the drain should not be too
big anyway. Maybe between 5-25mA.

It would need some extension, but that might be trivial.

Powering from sleep would be nice! But it does not look that easy to
implement. Instead it looks more feasible to let the Newton and the
phone communicate once the Newton wakes up.
