I'm brand new to Android development myself, so I could be completely wrong
here. I suspect that it isn't a permissions issue as much as it is a restrict
API issue. As you state above, ordinary applications aren't allowed to call the
goToSleep().
What I think you want is the list of restricted API calls, or rather a list of
the "internal to Google" content providers. By examining the source code you
could discover these and perhaps utilize them, but at your own peril.
Was a widget to put the phone to sleep a learning exercise or part of an
application you wanted to develop?
