How to run an Android Application in background?

I have created an Android app and it's working fine. The issue is that, when I press the back button of the phone, the application is closed, but I want to run the application in background also.

If possible, can anyone provide a pseudo code for the same, or give an idea of what can be used to implement this.?

public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event)
{ 
    if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK ) 
    { 
        this.moveTaskToBack(true); 
        return true;
    } 
    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event); 
}
