    PowerManager pm =  (PowerManager)getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE); 
    wl = pm.newWakeLock(PowerManager.SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK, "whatever");
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    wl.acquire();

Answer 1

FULL_WAKE_LOCK is already deprecated and it's better to use the PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK. This is the standard way to do this,

PowerManager powerManager = (PowerManager) getSystemService(POWER_SERVICE);
Wakelock wakeLock = powerManager.newWakeLock(PowerManager.PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK,
        "MyWakelockTag");
wakeLock.acquire();
