Sorry, my app disables the keyguard with disableKeyguard().
This makes inKeyguardRestrictedInputMode() return true so clicking on
the home button brings up the lock screen (the special one without the
Emergency Call button).
I would like to see this lock screen when pressing the back button.

Actually, I just want to know how to bring up that special lock screen
on demand. I know it comes up with the home button so I was going to
try to mimic that.

Thanks for your help,
David Shellabarger
