When the screen goes off, the device goes to sleep. This means that the main CPU shuts off. You can prevent this by holding a wakelock. WARNING: Holding a wake lock for a substantial period of time will have a terrible effect on battery life. Android achieves better battery life by doing as little as possible and sleeping as much as possible. Please consider the best interests of your users when doing things that will adversely effect their experience.
