It worked for me just adding this:

Edited: Forgot to take out the protected tag

```auto
    @Override
    void onResume() {
        getWindow().addFlags(android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);
        super.onResume();
    }

    @Override
    void onPause() {
        getWindow().clearFlags(android.view.WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON);
        super.onPause();
    }

```
