how to disable both the notification bar and home button in android 2.3?

Question

I am making a lock screen app for android and so it requires that both the notification bar and home button be disabled. Since ICS and further versions do not allow disabling of the Home button, is there a way to do it in the previous versions?

You can add this snippet to your Activity:

@override

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

But will not work in ICS and jelly bean and will give you crash in app.For more details see these references:
