In your Activity just add the following snippet:

public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event) {
    if (event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_POWER) {
        // do nothing but show a warning message
        Toast.makeText(this, "you pressed the power button",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        return true;
    }
    return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event);
}

In case the above snippet doesn't work,you can try this then:

public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent event) {
    if (event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_POWER) {
        //do nothing but show a warning message
        Toast.makeText(this, "you pressed the power button",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        return true;
    }

    return super.dispatchKeyEvent(event);
}
