android notify when user press home button more than once to start app

Question

can the android system fire an event if the home button is pressed more than once ? I want to catch this action in order to play a alert message or music if the user presses the home button more than once.

Can we keep count of home button press in a day ?

when my app is running in background it should play music when user presses home button twice. is it possible? and how to achieve this ?

i want to implement functionality used in this app.

Nope. You can not detect Home key press events... Home key is left for User Security and we can't hack it... — Gopal Gopi, Jan 05 '14 at 08:33

please refer the link:- http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.html#KEYCODE_HOME

Key code constant: Home key. This key is handled by the framework and is never delivered to applications.
