You can try to turn the screen on after the lockNow() call with something like that:
PowerManager powerManager = ((PowerManager) getSystemService(Context.POWER_SERVICE));
WakeLock screenLock = powerManager.newWakeLock(PowerManager.SCREEN_DIM_WAKE_LOCK | PowerManager.ACQUIRE_CAUSES_WAKEUP, "tag");
screenLock.acquire();
screenLock.release();
You will need to add the required permission to the manifest file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
