As per Android core concepts, no application can alter the behaviour of the Home button.

This you may not achieve what you're trying to do.

EDIT

You can try to code one Home Screen Launcher so that when user presses the home button, they can go to your Home Launcher.

You cannot override the home key function, this functionality would allow an app to lock the user out of the phone.
