Making alarmManager able to wakeup the phone

I've adapted the code in http://code4reference.com/2012/07/tutorial-on-android-alarmmanager/ taking a picture every 30 sec. It works ok but when the phone goes in sleep mode it seems that the alarmManager does not make its job properly. Is there a way to make alarmManager able to wakeup the phone?

You need to implement a WakeLock.

This requires a specific permission, and is generally frowned upon by users.
