Starting activity from service on lock screen turns on the screen but does not show the activity itself

Question

I\'m trying to start an activity from a service I had already acquired the lock for as follows:

Intent i = new Intent(context, MyActivity.class);
i.setFlags(         


        

Answer 1

Since my application already includes a Service, this is what I do: if the screen is locked, I register a broadcast receiver (a bit simpler than this one, since it reacts only on unlocking) that starts the Activity as soon as the screen gets unlocked.
