Answer 1

i found a solution for my problem, maybe this can help other programmers too.
first of all, I hide the SystemBar with this Answer:

Is there a way to hide the system bar in Android 3.0? It's an internal device and I'm managing navigation

Then i create my own home button Service with allways show a home icon on the left side of the top. The Service got a onTouchEvent, looks like this

    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {
    if(event.getRawY() < 50 && event.getRawX() < 50)
    {
        Context context = getContext();
        Intent startMain = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
        startMain.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);
        startMain.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        context.startActivity(startMain);
    }
    return true;
}

i hope this can help people out, if not ask me a question 🙂 i will try to help you
