    Its like an `emergency` button for the user. Why would you want to take that away from them? – Shobhit Puri Jul 13 '13 at 07:03

  • There is no way to detect the HOME button pressed. One way you can handle it is that if your transaction is on UI thread, then you can check in `onPause()` method if the person is trying to pause the activity or sth. Other way which I can think of it to start a background process and do that transaction thing from there. – Shobhit Puri Jul 13 '13 at 07:25
