No. The GPS works fine with the screen off. The TelephonyManager stops updating its signal strength when the screen is off. You need a full wakelock (not the SCREEN_BRIGHT one, but the one just below that) to get signal strength updates.

Believe me, if this would work without the screen on, I wouldn't require it
