BroadcastReceiver for Wifi status

[omkar_ghaisas]

Hi,
I am trying to create a broadcastreceiver to listen for the android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE broadcast.

My broadcastreceiver code is,

public class wifisyncreceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

	@Override
	public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) {
		arg0.startActivity(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_SYNC_SETTINGS));
	}

}

whereas in the manifest file, I have,

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="utility.wifisyncer.wifisync"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="10" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>

    <application
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name" >
        <receiver android:name=".receiver.wifisyncreceiver" android:enabled="true">
            <intent-filter>                
				<action android:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGED" />	
	    	</intent-filter>
        </receiver>
    </application>
</manifest>

But after I install this app on my phone and turn on Wifi option, nothing happens. I am assuming the defined activity should be started before the broadcastreceiver completes its onReceive method call ?

Please suggest, if I am doing anything wrong, because I have tried different things like calling a service, showing a toast from the broadcast receiver, but I am doubtful, if my broadcastreceiver is even getting triggered.

Thanks,
