You can extend from Application and set it in the manifest. Then, put onConfigurationChanged there, and check if the previous locale is the same as the current one:

if(!_currentLocale.equals(newConfig.locale))
  {

  // locale has changed
  }

The "_currentLocale" variable should be initialized on the onCreate method of the new class (that extends Application), as such:

  @Override
  public void onCreate()
    {
    super.onCreate();
    _currentLocale=getResources().getConfiguration().locale;
    }
