I am trying to turn off the device, then

Answer 1

This is worked on Marshmallow

private final String TAG = "OnOffScreen";
private PowerManager _powerManager;
private PowerManager.WakeLock _screenOffWakeLock;

public void turnOnScreen() {
    if (_screenOffWakeLock != null) {
        _screenOffWakeLock.release();
    }
}

public void turnOffScreen() {
    try {
        _powerManager = (PowerManager) this.getSystemService(POWER_SERVICE);
        if (_powerManager != null) {
            _screenOffWakeLock = _powerManager.newWakeLock(PROXIMITY_SCREEN_OFF_WAKE_LOCK, TAG);
            if (_screenOffWakeLock != null) {
                _screenOffWakeLock.acquire();
            }
        }
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
}
