cannot resolve symbol USAGE_STATS_SERVICE

I have referred a few forums and discussions and wrote this code to find the top running activity and start an intent for another activity.

package com.example.neondude.ietproject;

import android.app.Service;
import android.app.usage.UsageStats;
import android.app.usage.UsageStatsManager;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Build;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.os.Message;
import android.widget.Toast;

import java.util.List;
import java.util.SortedMap;
import java.util.Timer;
import java.util.TimerTask;
import java.util.TreeMap;


public class BlockService extends Service
{
private static Timer timer = new Timer();
public String pActivity="";




public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0)
{
    return null;
}

public void onCreate()
{
    super.onCreate();
    startService();
}

private void startService()
{
    timer.scheduleAtFixedRate(new mainTask(), 0, 500);
}

private class mainTask extends TimerTask
{
    public void run()
    {
        toastHandler.sendEmptyMessage(0);
    }
}

public void onDestroy()
{
    super.onDestroy();
    Toast.makeText(this, "Service Stopped ...", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

private final Handler toastHandler = new Handler()
{

        @Override
        public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
            String topPackageName = null;
            if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {

                UsageStatsManager mUsageStatsManager = (UsageStatsManager) getSystemService(USAGE_STATS_SERVICE);
                long time = System.currentTimeMillis();
                //We get usage stats for the last 10 seconds
                List<UsageStats> stats = mUsageStatsManager.queryUsageStats(UsageStatsManager.INTERVAL_DAILY, time - 1000 * 10, time);
                // Sort the stats by the last time used
                if (stats != null) {
                    SortedMap<Long, UsageStats> mySortedMap = new TreeMap<>();
                    for (UsageStats usageStats : stats) {
                        mySortedMap.put(usageStats.getLastTimeUsed(), usageStats);
                    }
                    if (!mySortedMap.isEmpty()) {
                        topPackageName = mySortedMap.get(mySortedMap.lastKey()).getPackageName();
                    }

                }
            }
            if (!topPackageName.equals("com.example.neondude.MainActivity") || !topPackageName.equals("com.example.neondude.BlockService")) {
                Intent i = new Intent(BlockService.this, BlockActivity.class);
                i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
                startActivity(i);
                Toast.makeText(BlockService.this, pActivity, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

            }
        }
    };
}

}

but I am having a problem when using the USAGE_STATS_SERVICE

UsageStatsManager mUsageStatsManager = (UsageStatsManager) getSystemService(USAGE_STATS_SERVICE);

Error: cannot resolve symbol USAGE_STATS_SERVICE

I have also tried using:

UsageStatsManager mUsageStatsManager = (UsageStatsManager) getSystemService("usagestats");

this also shows the same error

Please tell me how to correct this error.

Make sure that your compileSdkVersion is set to 22 or higher, as that is the API level where USAGE_STATS_SERVICE was added.
