what is the proper, non-deprecated way to wake up the device?

Question

My requirement is: after a GCM message arrives, the device should wake up to display a high-priority notification. The device should turn the screen on.

Use the code I got from my question, and then just finish the activity, should leave the screen on for the users normal amount of time. Trust me this is the only way, after spending a good week on this problem. You could always set the activity to transparent with notitlebar, the user will never know.

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    getWindow().addFlags(
        WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED |
        WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DISMISS_KEYGUARD |
        WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON |
        WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TURN_SCREEN_ON |
        WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_ALLOW_LOCK_WHILE_SCREEN_ON);
    finish();
}
