Use Activity intent in pending intent insted of Service

Intent intent = new Intent(context, MyActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(key, "my_value"); //Used to send information to action class
PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, intent,
                                 PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

Answer 2

In the Activity you are opening (that is behind the lock screen) you should tell system to lift the keyguard (e.g. in onCreate())

For API >= 26

KeyguardManager km = (KeyguardManager)getSystemService(Context.KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
km.requestDismissKeyguard(this, null); // you may add callback listener here

For API < 26:

getWindow().addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DISMISS_KEYGUARD);

If device is not locked securely it would unlock it immediately, and if it is locked, it will ask user to do it.
