    import android.util.Log;
    import android.widget.Toast;

    public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

     Log.v("onReceive", "Power button is pressed.");

     Toast.makeText(context, "power button clicked", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
             .show();
    }

}

and MainActivity.java:

    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.app.Activity;
    import android.view.Menu;

    public class MainActivity extends Activity {

        @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
            getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
            return true;
        }
    }

  <application
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    <activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_main" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

Answer 1

Try this,

public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    static int countPowerOff=0;
    private Activity activity=null;
    public MyReceiver (Activity activity)
    {
    this.activity=activity;
    }
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

      Log.v("onReceive", "Power button is pressed.");

      Toast.makeText(context, "power button clicked", Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
             .show();

     if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF)) 
{
    countPowerOff++;    
} 
else if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON)) 
{
      if(countPowerOff==5)
      {
          Intent i =new Intent(activity,NewActivity.class);
          activity.startActivity(i);
       }
    }

}

And,

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

        @Override
        public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
            IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON);
            filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF);
            MyReceiver mReceiver = new MyReceiver (this);
            registerReceiver(mReceiver, filter);
        }

        @Override
        public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
            getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
            return true;
        }
    }

Answer 2

Try this to get power button event

 @Override

 public boolean dispatchKeyEvent(KeyEvent event) {
if (event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_POWER) {

    return true;
}

return super.dispatchKeyEvent(event);
 }
