Here is a code-sheet, you can do more.

long stand = Settings.System.getLong(
                        mContext.getContentResolver(), Settings.System.SCREEN_OFF_TIMEOUT,
                        -1);
                long sec = stand / 1000;
                String time = null;
                                    if(stand<0) {
                                         //close.
                                    }
                else if( sec >= 60) {//to minute
                    time = String.format(mContext.getString(R.string.minutes), (sec / 60) + "");
                } else {
                    time = String.format( mContext.getString(R.string.seconds),sec + "");
                }
