startLeScan with 128 bit UUIDs doesn't work on native Android BLE implementation

Question

I am having trouble using startLeScan( new UUID[]{ MY_DESIRED_128_BIT_SERVICE_UUID }, callback ) on the new introduced BLE API of Android 4.3 on my Nexus 4.

Try this to retrieve/filter the device from the advertised 128-bit UUIDs:

private List parseUUIDs(final byte[] advertisedData) {
    List uuids = new ArrayList();

    int offset = 0;
    while (offset < (advertisedData.length - 2)) {
        int len = advertisedData[offset++];
        if (len == 0)
            break;

        int type = advertisedData[offset++];
        switch (type) {
        case 0x02: // Partial list of 16-bit UUIDs
        case 0x03: // Complete list of 16-bit UUIDs
            while (len > 1) {
                int uuid16 = advertisedData[offset++];
                uuid16 += (advertisedData[offset++] << 8);
                len -= 2;
                uuids.add(UUID.fromString(String.format(
                        "%08x-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb", uuid16)));
            }
            break;
        case 0x06:// Partial list of 128-bit UUIDs
        case 0x07:// Complete list of 128-bit UUIDs
            // Loop through the advertised 128-bit UUID's.
            while (len >= 16) {
                try {
                    // Wrap the advertised bits and order them.
                    ByteBuffer buffer = ByteBuffer.wrap(advertisedData,
                            offset++, 16).order(ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN);
                    long mostSignificantBit = buffer.getLong();
                    long leastSignificantBit = buffer.getLong();
                    uuids.add(new UUID(leastSignificantBit,
                            mostSignificantBit));
                } catch (IndexOutOfBoundsException e) {
                    // Defensive programming.
                    Log.e(LOG_TAG, e.toString());
                    continue;
                } finally {
                    // Move the offset to read the next uuid.
                    offset += 15;
                    len -= 16;
                }
            }
            break;
        default:
            offset += (len - 1);
            break;
        }
    }

    return uuids;
