Can't receive broadcasts for PACKAGE intents

Question

I am trying to register a Broadcast Receiver to receive broadcast events for the package events. Following is the code and my receiver in the manifest file. The log statment never happens, but I can clearly see the same broadcast firing for "HomeLoaders" (the Launcher) debug statements. Could someone explain what I am missing?

public class IntentListener extends BroadcastReceiver {

 @Override
 public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
  // TODO Auto-generated method stub
  Log.i("INTENT LISTNER:", intent.getAction());
 }

}


    <receiver android:name="IntentListener" android:enabled="true" android:exported="true">
     <intent-filter>
       <data android:scheme="package"></data>
       <action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_ADDED"></action>
      <action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_ADDED"></action>
      <action android:name="android.intent.action.PACKAGE_CHANGED"></action>
     </intent-filter>
   </receiver>

Answer 1

It is possible that these Intents cannot be received by components registered in the manifest, but only by receivers registered in Java via registerReceiver().
