Use "dojo/dom-construct" in the require and define it in the function variables like domConstruct.

Then after you have initialised your view you can create the button.

   

// create DOM object
recenterBtn = domConstruct.toDom("<div class='map-button esri-component esri-locate esri-widget--button esri-widget' role='button' title='Recenter'><span aria-hidden='true' role='presentation' class='esri-icon esri-icon-globe'></span></div>");
// add to view
view.ui.add(recenterBtn, "bottom-right");
// add button click listener
recenterBtn.addEventListener('click', recenterFunction);‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Use the MapView goTo() function to set the center view: MapView | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.14 

Add your own CSS to style it as you wish.

Also see the Custom Recenter Widget | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.14 example for the TypeScript version.

What version of the API are you using? 3.x or 4.x?

You must still create the recenter function e.g.

function recenterView(){
  view.goTo({
    center: [-126, 49],
    zoom: 15
  });‍‍‍‍
}

which you then call with the listener

recenterBtn.addEventListener('click', recenterView);

OK now it is clickable, but it do only zoom where ever it is on world map, it do not goto to that exact location of x and y axis(lat,long)

view.when(function() {
          // Add the boundary polygon and new lot polygon graphics
          addGraphics();
          // create DOM object
          var recenterBtn = domConstruct.toDom("<div class='map-button esri-component esri-locate esri-widget--button esri-widget' role='button' title='Recenter'><span aria-hidden='true' role='presentation' class='esri-icon esri-icon-globe'></span></div>");

          // add to view
          view.ui.add(recenterBtn, "bottom-right");
          // add button click listener
          recenterBtn.addEventListener('click', recenterView);
             function recenterView(){
                view.goTo({
                center: ['<?=$map_xy_coordinate['x']?>', '<?=$map_xy_coordinate['y']?>'],
                  zoom: 15
                });
              }
         });

Its done, it was some minor error, btw thanks alot for ur kind efforts.

So now i will create  basemap buttons with the same method now, but what method do i call on click to change basemap

It depends on how many basemaps you want to use.

Have a look at the documentation for BasemapToggle | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.14 and the BasemapGallery | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.14 widgets.

Otherwise the function for switching basemaps can be simple as:

function setbasemap(basemap){
   map.basemap = basemap;
}‍‍‍

and attach the click event to the buttons

basemapBtn.addEventListener('click', function(){
  setbasemap('hybrid');
});
