If it's not absolutely necessary we should try to avoid adding new permisions. My idea is to just ring the phone without starting a new activity, and stop ringing when the user unlocks the phone or turns on the screen (ACTION_SCREEN_ON event). Do you like this approach?

That is why I added the wake lock permissions. Otherwise, yes I can explore this action and remove the wake lock. Let me know your thoughts...

May be you can use key down event(onKeyDown) and stop ringing the phone when any key has been pressed(power key, home key) as that would mean you have found your phone. That way It would not need any new permissions and also no activity would be required to start or to stop ringing the phone.
