In Android 14 and beyond, apps cannot turn the screen on or wake up the device when the device is locked unless the user explicitly grants the "Turn screen on" permission. The permission to "turn screen on" on Android devices is typically related to the "Display over other apps" permission, usually under "Special app access" within the device's settings. Instructions on how to grant this permission have been added, and some minor bugs have been fixed.
