I have found a way to disable the HOME button using a method found here.

<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />              
<category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME" />                 
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />               
<category android:name="android.intent.category.MONKEY"/>

This will precisely disable HOME button because now the application is run as a separate launcher. Now, I need an exit mechanism for the user to come out from the kiosk app and then roam freely on the device. I currently use finishAffinity() inorder to exit from the app. But it's not an efficient solution as the app is sometimes comes to foreground even though finishAffinity() is called. Any concrete solutions for this issue ?

you can try `this.isDestroyed(); moveTaskToBack(true); System.exit(0);` – Ashutosh Sagar Nov 09 '17 at 06:01
