  • why do you actually need device be awake? Why not just use Service that run un background? – borichellow Sep 18 '20 at 18:46
  • @borichellow actually react native does not fully support background service . I have requirement if app is running in background then I am gonna send coords continuously. for that purpose I need to prevent auto lock if app is running in background – JonasDev Sep 18 '20 at 18:47
  • try to use `Service` with `startForeground`. Here is an example https://www.tutorialspoint.com/how-to-implementing-start-foreground-for-a-service – borichellow Sep 18 '20 at 18:55

It sounds like you need to try AsyncTask and take a look at DoInBackground, try this link it may help: AsyncTask Android example
