for that first you need unlock the screen then update display and again lock the screen. you can lock or unlock screen by using, window.addFlags(LayoutParams.FLAG_DISMISS_KEYGUARD); and DevicePolicyManager lockNow() method.

Actually when screen locks ,your application goes to onPause() but the services of the application keeps running as they runs in background.Hence, to solve your problem you need to wakeup your application for fraction of second then update the screen and then again lock the screen.

how do i used this in coding any example – Jagan Sep 13 '12 at 07:09 — Jagan, Sep 13 '12 at 07:09

guys i've finally found the answer to this prob thanks to @dd619 his concept

the concept i used is that first i need to unlock the screen then update display and again lock the screen.

this is my final coding for this app

{
Context context= getApplicationContext();

KeyguardManager _guard = (KeyguardManager) context.getSystemService(Context.KEYGUARD_SERVICE);
KeyguardLock _keyguardLock = _guard.newKeyguardLock("KeyguardLockWrapper");
        //to disable
_keyguardLock.disableKeyguard();


 String message ="New alarm :"+ alarmnew.size()+"\n old alarm :"+alarmold.size();
 Settings.System.putString(this.getContentResolver(),
         Settings.System.NEXT_ALARM_FORMATTED, message);

         //to enable
 _keyguardLock.reenableKeyguard();
}
