AccessibilityService is started but does not receive AccessibilityEvents on JellyBean

Question

I have a AccessibilityService that shall read out any incoming notification. It does work fine with ICS and below, but stopped working with JB.

Below are the Manifes

Answer 1

I experienced this problem in Android 4.1.1. The accessibility service didn't receive events until I disabled and re-enabled the accessibility service.

To fix the problem, I defined the accessibility service parameters in both setServiceInfo() and accessibilityservice.xml.

In my case, there was no need to define two different Android-version-dependent accessibility services.
