IONIC 5 hardware back button causes the app close

Issue

i'm using this code in my app.component.ts to handle hardware back button :

this.platform.backButton.subscribeWithPriority(10, (processNextHandler) => {
  console.log('Back press handler!');
  if (this.location.isCurrentPathEqualTo('/home')) {

    // Show Exit Alert!
    console.log('Show Exit Alert!');
    this.showExitConfirm();
    processNextHandler();
  } else {

    // Navigate to back page
    console.log('Navigate to back page');
    this.router.navigateByUrl['/home'];
    this.location.back();

  }

});

but it's not working it works only when lunch the app for the first time,later when I press back button the app closes ,I've tried many solutions but none of them works , both on simulator and real device with different versions of android (8,9,10) and same behaviour my ionic info :
