copied!<p>You cannot declare <code>ACTION_SCREEN_ON</code> and <code>ACTION_SCREEN_OFF</code> in the <em>AndroidManifest.xml</em>. You are only allowed to catch them while your activity is running.</p> <p>Here's an example.</p> <p>The <em>BroadcastReceiver</em>:</p> <pre><code>public class ScreenReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver { public static boolean wasScreenOn = true; @Override public void onReceive(final Context context, final Intent intent) { if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF)) { // do whatever you need to do here wasScreenOn = false; } else if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON)) { // and do whatever you need to do here wasScreenOn = true; } } } </code></pre> <p>The <em>Activity</em>:</p> <pre><code>public class ExampleActivity extends Activity { private BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = null; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); // initialize receiver final IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON); filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF); mReceiver = new ScreenReceiver(); registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter); // your code } @Override protected void onPause() { // when the screen is about to turn off if (ScreenReceiver.wasScreenOn) { // this is the case when onPause() is called by the system due to a screen state change Log.e("MYAPP", "SCREEN TURNED OFF"); } else { // this is when onPause() is called when the screen state has not changed } super.onPause(); } @Override protected void onResume() { super.onResume(); // only when screen turns on if (!ScreenReceiver.wasScreenOn) { // this is when onResume() is called due to a screen state change Log.e("MYAPP", "SCREEN TURNED ON"); } else { // this is when onResume() is called when the screen state has not changed } } @Override protected void onDestroy() { if (mReceiver != null) { unregisterReceiver(mReceiver); mReceiver = null; } super.onDestroy(); } } </code></pre> <p>You could probably solve your question by listening to these events from a <code>Service</code>.</p>
