you have to register a reciever for the screen on off

    private static BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = new ScreenReceiver();

make a method "regScreenReciever()" put this code in that

IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
                    filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON);
                    filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF);
                    appContext.registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter);

then create a broadcast reciever , override its onRecieve method and then put

if(intent.getAction().equalsIgnoreCase(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON)){
                    Util.disableKeygaurd();
                }
                Intent linkuryIntent = new     Intent(context,UpdateService.class);
                context.startService(linkuryIntent);

your code will run fine

I've posted a pretty clean nifty solution here. Hope it helps. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9029040/how-to-run-an-android-app-in-background/43555050#43555050 — user2288580, Apr 22 '17 at 04:03
