Getting the application to exit when the user presses the Home button

[Draco18s]

I've got this, currently, but it doesn't seem to work:

               NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(Event.DEACTIVATE, onDeactivateApp);
...
          protected function onDeactivateApp(event:Event):void
          {
               NativeApplication.nativeApplication.exit();
          }

Help?

For IOS the following addition to the application descriptor file should work

      <![CDATA[<key>UIDeviceFamily</key><array><string>1</string><string>2</string></array><key>UIPrerenderedIcon</key><true/><key>UIApplicationExitsOnSuspend</key><true/>]]>

The code you pasted works on my Nexus 7 Android app
