Hi,
You should build your own home activity ( a real one that handles all the 
events needed to be handled by a home) then at each key methods of your 
activity (onResume, onCreate) you just launch your apllication using the 
intent (startActivity(intent)).
If building a home is a too huge work, a home is already available (under 
apache licence) in the sdk, to be exact in the sample of the sdk.
Then, as you did, just set this home as the default one on the devices you 
want to manage.
I have the project to make such application  for my kid allowing him to use 
only some applications (the ones I decided).
Hope it helps.
