The application never "quits," and so onDestroy() won't be called when the user pushes the back button (it will be called when Android kicks your process out of memory). Instead you would want to override onPause coming from a press of the back button.
A better solution would be to realize that the application simply doesn't quit, so asking the user if they're sure they want to quit is silly: since this won't happen even if they push the back button...
