Hook home button press

Question

What method should I hook to register a home button press? SpringBoard's menuButtonUp isn't working for me. All of the answers I have seen on this site so far are not helpful since this would be using the private API.

I'm pretty sure you can't do this without using a private API. — Rok Jarc, Jan 27 '14 at 12:37
You have no direct way of detecting it. However, you can track it by the state change in the appDelegate.. — GenieWanted, Jan 27 '14 at 12:38

It is a Springboard method. `[%c(SpringBoard) menuButtonUp];` might work. – twodayslate Mar 01 '14 at 08:02
This way need to jailbreak, any private API to do that? – user501836 Mar 01 '14 at 08:30
