Go to home screen from Android Activity

I'm making an application in android and I want to implement a button such that whenever it is pressed, I just reach back to my home screen. I know that we have the hardware key and soft keys( when there are no hardware keys) which implements this, but I want to add this functionality for this application. Does anybody has any idea how to do it?

Thank you

  • Try this

    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);
