Accessbility service can be used , if you know the home package( which can be inferred from logcat) then event is generated when user goes to home screen
NOTE : But the user has to explicitly set the Settings -> Accessibilty ->Check the application name .
There is another way to know when the home screen is invoked , from service . Start reading the logs to know when home intent was sent though i am not sure whether it is the right way .
You cannot determine when home button is pressed...
