BroadcastReceiver for new applications

I want to be notified when a new application is installed.

IntentFilter newAppFilter = new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_ADDED);
newAppFilter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_CHANGED);
newAppFilter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_INSTALL);
newAppFilter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_PACKAGE_REPLACED);
getApplicationContext().registerReceiver(newAppReceiver, newAppFilter);


public static BroadcastReceiver newAppReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {     
            Log.e("Broadcast","Received");
       }
};

But I can not get any magazine. Can anybody help me?

Try adding a data schema to yours IntentFilter.

newAppFilter.addDataScheme("package");

Link: IntentFilter.addDataScheme () documentation

If the schemes are not included, then the Intent will be consistent only if it includes no data.

If someone comes across this, the intent documentation now says:
ACTION_PACKAGE_INSTALL - this constant is deprecated. This constant has never been used.
