Hardware Back button handler does not work for the first page of the ionic app

I have ionic 4 app in which i have to handle the Hard ware back button .This is working fine but when i opened the app in very first time than it is not working as expected .The app is closing as i click on the back button without hitting the hard ware back button function.
I am using platform.backButton

this.platform.backButton.subscribeWithPriority(10, (processNextHandler) => {

})
