is there a way to turn on the screen when device is locked. i am listening for proximity sensor events to turn on the screen, but by acquiring wake lock which needs WAKE_LOCK permission.

Is there any alternative. Gravity app in playstore does this without WAKE_LOCK permission. Any hint?

why not to add WAKE_LOCK permission? – Android Android Oct 22 '15 at 13:48
users are skeptical about this.. they fear battery loss and tend to not install the app – Aun Oct 22 '15 at 13:59
dont think that its possible.. – Android Android Oct 22 '15 at 14:02
check "gravity" app in playstore. It is possible. They don't use any permission. Still they are able to ON the screen based on events triggered using sensor data. – Aun Oct 22 '15 at 14:17
please post link to the app – Mayank Kumar Chaudhari Dec 02 '18 at 07:51
