Use this to see what wake locks are being held in user space: adb shell dumpsys power
Note that the device never goes to sleep while plugged in to USB. Also the system will never hold a wake lock for you just because you have an activity or service running. You can have it do so for you in an activity via FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON in a window, and the alarm manager will temporarily hold one for you while sending an alarm broadcast to a broadcast receiver.
