Reload the same activity when press Home

Question

I have an application. I tried to disable home button. Many people said that it doesn't possible to do in android 4.0 and above. So i decided to reload the same activity when press home button. I followed the below code.

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
    if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_HOME) {
        System.out.println("==============================");
        Intent i = new Intent(getBaseContext().getPackageManager()
                .getLaunchIntentForPackage(
                        getBaseContext().getPackageName()));
        i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP
                | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        startActivity(i);
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}

I can't get any response when press home button. Can you tell me what's my wrong?

Answer 1

This key cannot be intercepted, so KEYCODE_HOME won't be send to you.
