Answer 1

@Override
    protected void onResume() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onResume();
         IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF);
            registerReceiver(mIntentReceiver, filter);
            System.out.println("BROADcast receiver registered****");
    }

     private BroadcastReceiver mIntentReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver(){

        @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub

                System.out.println("phone locked"); 

        }

Answer 2

Window window = getWindow();
    window.addFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_DISMISS_KEYGUARD
            | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_SHOW_WHEN_LOCKED
            | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_TURN_SCREEN_ON
            | WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);

An Alternative solution... try this to unlock the screen..
