ACTION_MY_PACKAGE_REPLACED not received

Question

I am using ACTION_MY_PACKAGE_REPLACED to receive when my app is updated or resinstalled. My problem is that the event is never triggered (I tried Eclipse and real device). T

Answer 1

Are you trying it on a API>=12 device/emulator? This broadcast will not be sent on prior cases as it is API 12. If you need your app to receive this for Pre-ICS and the old honey comb devices,

try:

if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_REPLACED)) {
  if (!intent.getData().getSchemeSpecificPart()
       .equals(context.getPackageName())) {
    return;
  }
}
