Detect home button press in android

Question

This has been driving me nuts for a while now.

Is there any way of reliably detecting if the home button has been pressed in an android application?

Answer 1

Android Home Key handled by the framework layer you can't able to handle this in the application layer level. Because the home button action is already defined in the below level. But If you are developing your custom ROM, then It might be possible. Google restricted the HOME BUTTON override functions because of security reasons.
