Proximity/screen turn off app?

Hey

When I'm, say, riding a bike and I have my phone in the pocket and I am using earphones to answer phone then the screen doesn't stay turned off when I have earphones plugged in during a call. So the screen just stays active, even after the call ends.
It's become a huge problem since I can accidentally turn off the call or when the call ends, tap random things on screen.
I have looked into the proximity apps and neither of them seems to keep the screen turned off during a call and after a call.

So maybe, someone here knows a good solution for this :)
Maybe some app, that allows the screen turn on ONLY when the power button is pressed?
 
Perhaps something like Tasker, which might allow you to setup a rule that would turn of the screen when headphones are plugged in and a call is active. I haven't tried setting that up specifically, but you could probably do it.
 
Smart Answer Call

◆ Answer Call Mode ◆
1. Answer call by proximity
To answer a incoming call, just close the phone to your ear. You can answer an incoming call easily by proximity sensor. If the phone is in your pocket or bag when an incoming call, take phone out, and then close the phone to your ear after 1 second(check caller ID).
2. Answer call by shake
Shake the phone to answer call.
◆ End Call Mode ◆
1. End call by flip
To end call during a call, just turn the phone over.
2. End call by shake
Shake the phone to end call.
◆ Speakerphone Mode (Proximity) ◆
1. Horizontal Mode
It works only with the phone horizontal state (on the table), and also can answer/end a call by proximity sensor. If it is difficult to answer a call by dirty hands, this feature is very useful.
2. Automatic Mode
During a call, the speakerphone is turned off when phone is near by ear, and is turned on when phone is far away from ear.

It works only speakerphone mode, and also can answer/end a call by proximity sensor. It can be used as handsfree while driving.

I love it. I can answer the phone by picking it up and putting to my ear. What a novel approach.
