BroadcastReceiver for CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE, WIFI_STATE_CHANGED and PROVIDER_CHANGED

Question

I have a MyBroadcastReceiver setup like so:

    <receiver android:name=".MyBroadcastReceiver">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE" />
            <action android:name="android.net.wifi.WIFI_STATE_CHANGED" />
        </intent-filter>
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.PROVIDER_CHANGED" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>

As you can see it "listens" for CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE , WIFI_STATE_CHANGED and PROVIDER_CHANGED .

The first two are working great, and my BroadcastReceiver gets called. However, it never gets called upon PROVIDER_CHANGED (when I disable location on my Android 5.1).

MyBroadcastReceiver is roughly this at the moment:

@Override
public void onReceive(final Context context, final Intent intent) {
    final String action = intent.getAction();
    Log.d("ACTION", action);
    // ...
}

I tried different AndroidManifest.xml configurations but never gets the PROVIDER_CHANGED broadcast.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Oops, auto-completion made me use a wrong IntentFilter action.

 <action android:name="android.location.PROVIDERS_CHANGED" />

Should be used, not android.intent.action.PROVIDER_CHANGED of course.
