Can any one help me how to lock a device using java Program, and here i am not using any UI means i am doing on the Service and user can not know what happening in his device. by using msm Notification i am going to locking the device without user permission. I Tried KeygardManager and DeviceAdmin but they are giving Security exceptions.

Is there any one to help. Thanks in advance.

yet again, you want to lock someone elses phone without them knowing about it. A very bad idea. — Bill Gary, Feb 09 '12 at 17:33

yes, It is possible, try this code,

KeyguardManager mgr = (KeyguardManager)getSystemService(Activity.KEYGUARD_SERVICE); 
KeyguardLock lock = mgr.newKeyguardLock(KEYGUARD_SERVICE); 
lock.reenableKeyguard();

@Jinka, if you did, it would be really useful if you share your solution with others -- it is the entire point of SO. – greenoldman Oct 05 '12 at 15:40

Do not use this! It is now obsolete. – Hawk Apr 16 '13 at 07:13
