A lot of the answers to this question ignore the fact that when writing an app, it is important to know which event caused a particular standard Android life cycle function to be called. There is a onBackPressed() function; why not have an onPowerPressed() and onHomePressed() as well? Apps often need to do different things in the standard life cycle functions depending upon which event caused them to be called. Right now it is a real pain to figure out whether a standard life cycle method was called as a result of a home button press or a power button press.
