android wallpaper image path

I need to get the path of the image currently serving as a background image in the wallpaper.

I managed to get the bitmap itself (using the drawable from the wallpaper manager) - but i dont need the drawable- i need the path so i can save it in sharedpreferences and use it later.

final WallpaperManager wallpaperManager = WallpaperManager.getInstance(this);
final Drawable wallpaperDrawable = wallpaperManager.getDrawable();
final Bitmap wallpaperBitmap =drawableToBitmap(wallpaperDrawable);

btw, according to The wallpapermanager's manual i cant use getWallpaperInfo since it will return null if its not a live wallpaper.

thanks for any help

    Drawable wallpaper = peekWallpaper();
final Bitmap wallpaperBitmap =drawableToBitmap(wallpaper);
