How to lock/unlock phone programmatically : Android

In my application, I need to lock and unlock phone. I searched for it, I found many answers, I tried them but no one is working.

I need to unlock phone on onCreate() and lock phone again while I'm finishing my activity.

Do you guys know any method to do the same?

Thanks friends.
