Note that setUserVisibleHint(false) is not called on activity / fragment stop. You'll still need to check start/stop to properly register/unregister any listeners/etc.

Also, you'll get setUserVisibleHint(false) if your fragment starts in a non-visible state; you don't want to unregister there since you've never registered before in that case.

@Override
public void onStart() {
    super.onStart();

    if (getUserVisibleHint()) {
        // register
    }
}

@Override
public void onStop() {
    if (getUserVisibleHint()) {
        // unregister
    }

    super.onStop();
}

@Override
public void setUserVisibleHint(boolean isVisibleToUser) {
    super.setUserVisibleHint(isVisibleToUser);

    if (isVisibleToUser && isResumed()) {
        // register

        if (!mHasBeenVisible) {
            mHasBeenVisible = true;
        }
    } else if (mHasBeenVisible){
        // unregister
    }
}
