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. What am I 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().
