Hide Home button on ActionBar Sherlock Actionbar extending Navigation Activity

I am using ActionBarSherlock on my simple app and would like to hide the HOME button if the user is on the home/main activity. I understand how to do so with the setHomeButtonEnabled(false), however, I am extending a class that contains my navigation and has setHomeButtonEnabled(true) and I cannot seem to overwrite that setting in my main activity.

Thanks to @andy I am able to get rid of the icon, however, I cannot get rid of the < arrow. Any ideas?

Thanks for any help.

The only way I have found to do this is to not have this set on your baseActivity:

getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

and then set it as you will for each activity that requires the menu:

getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(true);

or 

getSupportActionBar().setDisplayHomeAsUpEnabled(false);

With ActionBarSherlock just put this in your home/main activity onCreate() method:

final ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();
actionBar.setDisplayShowHomeEnabled(false);
