I am so glad neither of you suggested overriding onBackPressed() or intercepting the BACK key code via onKeyDown()!
After all, neither option is a good idea except for rare cases. Then again, Dianne did a pretty good job of describing how to do it in those rare cases (among other things) in http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/12/back-and-other-hard-keys-three-stories.html. But this post focuses on 2.0 and up.
