It is not possible to create an SDK application as you describe. If you can do that, then malware can do that, holding a user's phone hostage.

As tm1brt indicates, you may be able to do this via your own custom firmware and modifications to the Android OS, but then that will only affect your phones (personal ones or ones you are manufacturing). And modifying the Android OS is not trivial.

You would be able to do this by modifying the OS. Or perhaps writing a new home screen.
