It is working in my application

public class Splash extends Activity {
protected boolean _active = true;
protected int _splashTime = 3000;
Thread splashTread;
private boolean stop = false;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.splash);

    splashTread = new Thread() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            try {
                int waited = 0;
                while(_active && (waited < _splashTime)) {
                    sleep(100);
                    if(_active) {
                        waited += 100;
                    }
                }

            } catch(InterruptedException e) {
                // do nothing
            } finally {

                if(!stop){
                    startActivity(new Intent(Splash.this,Home.class));
                    finish();
                }
                else
                    finish();
            }
        }

    };
    splashTread.start();

}

@Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK)) {

        if(splashTread.isAlive())
            this.stop = true;
    }
    return true;
}

}
