Hi @i03nomura1y, I was trying to receive that screen lock/unlock notifications even when the application is not in foreground, i.e the application is running in background.For foreground mode, these notification is working fine, but I failed to received those notification while application is in background. Could you help me on that? How can I listen to those notifications even if the application is not running in foreground?

Hey I'm having the same problem. Have you solve it yet? :)

Did anybody solve this?
