I tried this approach (below) and it worked. Not yet fully tested, but I use similar for receiving battery status. This way there is less code and it does the job.

private BroadcastReceiver networkReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        if (intent.getAction().equals(ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION)) {
            NetworkInfo networkInfo = intent.getParcelableExtra(ConnectivityManager.EXTRA_NETWORK_INFO);
            if (networkInfo != null && networkInfo.getDetailedState() == NetworkInfo.DetailedState.CONNECTED) {
                Log.d(LOG_TAG, "We have internet connection. Good to go.");
            } else if (networkInfo != null && networkInfo.getDetailedState() == NetworkInfo.DetailedState.DISCONNECTED) {
                Log.d(LOG_TAG, "We have lost internet connection");
            }
        }
    }
};

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    IntentFilter intentFilter = new IntentFilter(ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION);
    registerReceiver(networkReceiver, intentFilter);
}

@Override
protected void onPause() {
    super.onPause();
    if (networkReceiver != null)
        unregisterReceiver(networkReceiver);
}
