Start service when device is unlocked

Question

I want to start service only when device is unlocked. I've tried this code but it didn't work.Can somebody explain me what do I do wrong?And what should I do?

if( myKM.isKeyguardLocked()==false) {
    startService(intent);
    Log.i("Point ","5");
} else {
    Log.i("Point ","6");
    stopService(intent);
}

You can have a Broadcast Receiver for ACTION_USER_PRESENT

No you can check in onReceive (Context context, Intent intent) as below -

if(intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_USER_PRESENT)){
// device unLocked
}

I didn't understand. If I use this which action should I do ? Start service or activity? – S.Drumble3 Feb 23 '16 at 00:36
