I'm looking for an intent-filter, like android.intent.category.HOME, that will allow an app to launch when the HOME button is pressed, only for a long press. Or any other method for achieving the same result... I read that it was possible in the past but was disable for security reasons... is that true?

Thanks!

It is doable now since Android 4.1

Simply, add the following and place them inside the main activity element of your AndroidManifest.xml‎

<intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.ASSIST" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" /> </intent-filter>

Then reinstall your application, long press the home button your App will be listed in "Complete action with".

Finally I found an answer! But what about onProvideAssistContent? Why isn't it triggered? This filter triggers my onCreate

This is not supported by Android, sorry.
