You are welcome to make it be the home screen. There's the Home sample
in the SDK that demonstrates the <intent-filter> you need on your
activity:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
Then, BACK and HOME lead to your app.
However:
- The user may be able to get to other things, depending on the
device, by means such as the notification drawer
- The user can simply reboot your phone in safe mode to nuke your app
