Static receiver not running

Question

I created an application that consists of one static receiver:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.docd.connectivityresetter"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="15"
        android:targetSdkVersion="19" />

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >

        <receiver android:name=".ConnectivityReceiver"
            android:enabled="true">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE" />
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>

    </application>

</manifest>

The receiver

package com.docd.connectivityresetter;

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;

public final class ConnectivityReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(final Context context, final Intent intent) {
        android.util.Log.i("received", intent.getAction());
        android.util.Log.i("received", intent.getExtras().toString());
    }

}

Installed the application.

1) Nothing received (no logs) when I trigger Airplane Mode (cell network goes down)

2) My application is not listed in "Running" tab of phone's Application settings menu (shouldn't it be listed as "Running" when static receiver is registered)?

I came across this when searching. Everything matches except it doesn't work for me. Intent action for network events in android sdk

Answer 1

Finally I found this great answer when I couldn't receive BOOT_COMPLETED either.

I would have never known...
