You'll have to use the wakelock API in your program.

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/PowerManager.WakeLock.html
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/PowerManager.html
https://developer.android.com/training/scheduling/wakelock.html​

You should also be aware of how to properly do this in-hand with Google's DOZE:

Cheers!

P.S., if you are a developer, I can move your thread to our Application Development area--just let me know .

Actually by using power manager code by refering https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/PowerManager.WakeLock.html
it is working fine while the app is working, I want the wakeLock for my android device not for my app alone programatically.

Still not 100% sure what you're asking...

Do you mean a blanket "keep awake" mechanism (i.e., some type of Setting you could enable / disable) or are you looking for a single app solution?

Not sure that there's anything other than an app-specific means of keeping the device awake, but that, of course, has to be done by the app developer and not the user...
