closeApp() for me - its force stop of app. If u dont need it u can use:

driver.runAppInBackground(Duration.ofSeconds(x));

puts the application in the background for a certain time. Unfortunately this is the only solution that helped me with MIUI.

For Android :

driver.pressKeyCode(AndroidKeyCode.HOME);

For IOS:

driver.executeScript("mobile: pressButton", ImmutableMap.of("name", "home"));

Appium has since deprecated pressKeyCode. Instead, use:

driver.pressKey(new KeyEvent(AndroidKey.HOME));

please try below code

driver.pressKeyCode(AndroidKeyCode.HOME);` // it will android device home` button

if you want to perform any other operation with android device keys you can use same approach.You will get keys in AndroidKeyCode.

hope these helps you.

public boolean applicationClose(String packageName) {
        appiumDriver.closeApp();
        return true;
    }

or
String ud_id=  ;
String str = "adb -s ud_id shell keyevent KEYCODE_HOME";
        String line;
        try {
            Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(commandStr);
            InputStream is = p.getInputStream();
            InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);

            while ((line = br.readLine()) != null)
                str += line;

            System.out.println("Command output: " + str);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        ReportAppium.getSnapShot(appiumDriver, "run:" + commandStr);
        return str;

Well if you want to send an app in background then simply use driver.CloseApp() function and relaunch it by driver.OpenApp()

You can also use press keycode method Below are the codes 

Home Menu Button - 82
Back Button - 4
Recent app - 187
