You can intercept a keypress and launch an app through a respective Intent. Having said that... the BACK key is there to step back in the Activity stack, not forward. Something will "break", the user experience at least, out of all. Frankly, if I encountered something like this as a user, I'd immediately think MALWARE! Same for hijacking the MENU key. If you dig through this list a little, you will find that the HOME key is supposed to take users exactly there.
