You shoudl use this tutorial developer.android.com/reference/android/os/PowerManager.html or use wake lock in andrid – Francesco

Answer 1

You can do it using a WakeLock this way:

When you set your notification:

WakeLock screenOn = ((PowerManager)getSystemService(POWER_SERVICE)).newWakeLock(PowerManager.SCREEN_BRIGHT_WAKE_LOCK | PowerManager.ACQUIRE_CAUSES_WAKEUP, "example");
screenOn.acquire();

And, IMPORTANT, release the wakelock when you don't need it anymore:

screenOn.release();

Remember about <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" /> – Premillennial

What about the now deprecated SCREEN_BRIGHT_WAKE_LOCK? – Monia

How about if we want to skip security lock screens (PIN, Patterns etc)? – Examine
