The answer is already in this forum: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_frm/thread/81d84efa68578924/e470ffd0dab85086?lnk=gst&q=screen_on#e470ffd0dab85086 (I simply searched for SCREEN_ON)
It seems the situation has not changed in SDK 1.5: For some reason, registering through Manifest does not work - only registering programmatically. In that thread, Dianne also points out another problem that you repeat above: Why do you need to set android:process=":remote"? It takes 2MB of additional valuable phone memory, without much additional value.
