Pressing the back button shutsdown the app. Needs to be interpreted in Monkey as KEY_BACK or KEY_ESCAPE?

Both functions are available, at least on android, as of v68 for backwards compatibility. Going forward, you should probably use KEY_BACK for back presses (on Android), and on WP8, for shutting down the app, I believe KEY_CLOSE is utilized.

Android is fine KEY_ESCAPE works for the back button, the problem is that the back button on WP8 does not send any key info it just closes the app when pressed. To pass certification it must go back though your app screens and only close the app on the main/first screen.

KEY_ESCAPE doesn't work with Android back button.

You should use OnBack instead - say App class docs.
