I need to use this for a Samsung Tablet.

Usually if the device is switched-off and the USB cable is being connected the display will wake up for some seconds showing

A member on XDA has posted a solution for this which seems to work on some Samsung devices.

The idea is to replace the script for the battery icon (which will appear of course as soon as the device is plugged in) with a custom script that will boot the phone. To make this work locate /system/bin/playlpm. Rename the old playlpm to playlpm.bak and replace it with the following script:

#!/system/bin/sh
/system/bin/reboot
