What do you mean by "it should run in background"? Why would you want that? If the user wants to keep the app opened, he can use the home button and the app won't be closed, if he presses the back button he wants to close the app. If want to have something that is still running even after the user closes the application you should take a look at Service http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Service.html, this will continue running even after the user closes the app

Try doing it like this:

@Override
public void onBackPressed() {
    Log.d("CDA", "onBackPressed Called");
    Intent intent = new Intent();
    intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
    intent.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_HOME);

    startActivity(intent);
}

By doing this, your activity will not be destroyed (i.e. onDestroy will not be raised). But also, there's no guarantee that Android will preserve your activity for long.

In case, you are running a process that you want to keep on running even in background, then I would suggest you to go for Service or IntentService.
