If this only happens for 4.2 and not the rest, you need to set the android:exported="true", because the default is changed: http://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-4.2.html

Content providers are no longer exported by default. That is, the default value for the android:exported attribute is now “false". If it’s important that other apps be able to access your content provider, you must now explicitly set android:exported="true".
