what is "physcal menu button"? you are probably talking about Home button which is causing your app goes to background: thats not possible for security reasons ofc. if this would be possible then some unfair apps will take control on users device/screen, also there would be possibility of bug in some app causing that it can't be closed. Home* and Power buttons can't be hijacked or set for handling custom click only, at most you can detect these were pressed, but still they do their job

*well, Home nowadays is a gesture
