I have read another questions about Home-Button and his detection possibilities. I also know that there are no broadcast intents for this actions. I try to track it with logcat, but I have not really an idea what the message should I track. I read logs about one hour, but I couldn’t find a messages that really says now it would be definitely Home-Button pressed

    When Home-Button is pressed, system_process with Tag ActivityManager start the Home activity with an Intent whose format may like this

    Intent { 
    act=android.intent.action.MAIN 
    cat=[android.intent.category.HOME] 
    flg=0x10200000
    cmp=com.android.launcher/.Launcher 
}

    You can filter this in logcat. It seems that you can simulate Home-Button’s action, but can not get Home-Button’s Intent, so when this shows, it may definitely Home-Button pressed.

    Hope this help you.
