Apps How do you use ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG?

[bluebrian]

I am working on an android application and I want to detect whether the headset is plugged in or not. I found the ACTION_HEADSET_PLUG thing, but I don't understand how to use it, and everything I have tried has not worked yet.

I tried adding
<receiver android:enabled="true" android:name=".AudioJackReceiver" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.HEADSET_PLUG" >
</action>
</intent-filter>
</receiver>

To my manifest, and I made a class that extends BroadcastReceiver in my package, but it doesn't seem to be called.
Do I need to add a special permission to my manifest? Can anyone point me to a sample application that uses this? I couldn't find anything in ApiDemos.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

What level of the manifest did you place the above code?
