How to disable screen lock sound in android app?

Question

I have one android application so

my application is running foreground
and I click power button
Beep sound comes
my phone goes into sleep
When i again click power button
my phone wake up
I unlock my phone
again Beep sound comes
screen goes to my application screen

Here i do not want that beep in case 3 and case 8 so how can i do that from my application code?

Edit: I know this can be done by from setting->sound->screen lock sound checkbox but i need to do this just for my app only no matter whats general setting for screen lock sound is selected.

You should not setup your post like this, post a sentence instead of steps.. to your problem.. which contextually makes no sense. — JoxTraex, Nov 15 '13 at 07:28

This isn't something you need to program - this setting is in Android settings, sound settings, "Screen lock sounds". Since that's an option for the settings app, I doubt you can change it from your app. (Changing other applications' data is forbidden unless it's root/system app)

there is not something you overwrite that sound effect on power button for your application's activity? – Jeegar Patel Nov 15 '13 at 07:13
Looks like I may be wrong - see the other answer. (I didn't know there was an api for that). Why would you want inconsistent behavior, only in your app though? – NoBugs Nov 15 '13 at 15:34

Put below code in your android app where you want to turn off the screen lock sound.

If you using Activity use below code :

Settings.System.putInt(getContentResolver(), "lockscreen_sounds_enabled",
                            0);

If you using Fragment use below code :

Settings.System.putInt(getActivity(),getContentResolver(), "lockscreen_sounds_enabled",
                            0);

To enable it again you can set 1 instead of 0.

Thanks
