I have an android application in which i want to exit the application only on device back key press.I mean that if user clicks on HOME button, I want to exit from the app but relaunch the app after a specific time. How to achieve this?

    when you press home button the application goes to the backgrond not exits. (excpet special cases). What do you exactly want – stinepike Mar 21 '13 at 04:13

If you want the application to be relaunched you can start a service and in that service you can start your activity using the code :

Intent dialogIntent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), myActivity.class);
dialogIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
getApplication().startActivity(dialogIntent);

You can set a flag when the home key is pressed and can check in service to ensure that the application is in background, so that activity is not relaunched unnecessarily.
