mediaplayer

I am working on an app that beeps every second. When I hit the home button I want it to close the program and stop beeping. Right now it closes the program but continues to beep.

What am I doing wrong?

        if ((keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_HOME)) {
        isdone = true;
        mp.release();
        counter.cancel();
        finish();
    }
