The manager doesn't have any filters - per-se.
You would need to add a layer in your asterisk-java program that  
filtered
the channels/extensions you were interested in.
The easiest thing might be to have your manager layer put the
events into a lightweight (in memory?) database, then use some standard
JDBC/servlets (or whatever) to query those events using the
channel current user's as a key.

Now, depending on what you are trying to do, there may be other ways
to get there....
