Use
driver.pressKey(new KeyEvent(AndroidKey.BACK));

Imports
import io.appium.java_client.android.nativekey.AndroidKey;
import io.appium.java_client.android.nativekey.KeyEvent;

You could try something similar to https://github.com/appium/java-client/blob/f185039f9f75e86e041320324e314b9f1b655d71/src/test/java/io/appium/java_client/android/KeyCodeTest.java#L41
