Hey try using dynamic calling of broadcast,I tried this it will surly work...

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    //Create broadcast object
    BroadcastReceiver mybroadcast = new BroadcastReceiver() {    
        //When Event is published, onReceive method is called
        @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            Log.i("[BroadcastReceiver]", "MyReceiver");

            if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON)) {
                Log.i("[BroadcastReceiver]", "Screen ON");
            }
            else if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF)) {
                Log.i("[BroadcastReceiver]", "Screen OFF");
            }

        }
    };

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

        registerReceiver(mybroadcast, new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON));
        registerReceiver(mybroadcast, new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF));
    }
}
