Yeah, it needs to be in the radar activity. Trying to keep the screen on while you are not in the foreground is... questionable at best. Best case, the system kills your process while it is in the background and you are no longer keeping the screen on. Worst case, the user presses home and goes somewhere else but your process is still there keeping their screen for going to sleep.
