When you press the home button, what does it do by default?

I want to keep what it does by default, but make sure it ends my music as well.

For example:

public void onBackPressed() {
return;

I disabled my back button.

I want to make it so the home button does what it does, but i want to call my
this.stopService(new Intent(this, Music.class));
in the method too.

    It is not possible to override “Home” key press just like you did for Back button press. In fact you’re not supposed to over ride home key press because user presses Home key to quickly come to the launcher.
    Even if you try to override onKeyDown(), you’ll see that Home key press will not invoke this function.

    But pressing Home key will surely call onStop() of your activity and hence you can stop your music service in onStop(). Hope this helps.
