This solution works from 2.1,

Okay, this was supposed to be a hard question. But here is a way to crack it.

Override the below method in your Activity,

@Override
public void onAttachedToWindow() {
    super.onAttachedToWindow();
    this.getWindow().setType(WindowManager.LayoutParams.TYPE_KEYGUARD);           
}

And now handle the key event like this,

 @Override
 public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {

   if(keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_HOME)
    {
     Log.i("Home Button","Clicked");
    }
   if(keyCode==KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK)
   {

        finish();
   }
return false;

};
