Question

So, my question restated is when you go to Settings -> Accounts & Sync and select the an account that was created that your SyncAdapter is syncing with a c

I discovered the solution is to make the app's ContentProvider implement OnAccountsUpdateListener. Attach the ContentProvider as a listener in its onCreate method with account_manager.addOnAccountsUpdatedListener(this, null, false) and then implement the interface method like

@Override
public void onAccountsUpdated(final Account[] accounts) {
    Ln.i("Accounts updated.");
    final Iterable account_list = new Iterable() {
        @Override
        public Iterator iterator() {
            return new Iterator() {
                private final Iterator account_list = Arrays.asList(accounts).iterator();

                @Override
                public boolean hasNext() {
                    return account_list.hasNext();
                }

                /** Extracts the next account name and wraps it in single quotes. */
                @Override
                public String next() {
                    return "'" + account_list.next().name + "'";
                }

                @Override
                public void remove() { throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not implemented"); }
            };
        }
    };
    final String account_set = TextUtils.join(", ", account_list);
    Ln.i("Current accounts: %s", account_set);

    // Removes content that is associated with accounts that are not currently connected
    final SelectionBuilder builder = new SelectionBuilder();
    builder.table(Tables.CALENDARS)
           .where(Calendars.CALENDAR_USER + " NOT IN (?)", account_set);

    new SafeAsyncTask() {
        @Override
        public Void call() throws Exception {
            _model.openWritableDatabase();
            _model.delete(builder);
            return null;
        }
    }.execute();


    getContext().getContentResolver().notifyChange(Calendars.NO_SYNC_URI, null, false);
}

I construct a String of the currently connected accounts, then build a SQL query with that String. I perform a delete on the database in a background thread on that query to remove the data associated with accounts not currently connected. And I notify that content changed, but does not need to synchronized with the server.
