Android M listening to android.os.action.DEVICE_IDLE_MODE_CHANGED

Question

Can a third party application get an action once the device goes in to Doze mode?

Trying to register Broadcast receiver for below action,

Answer 1

To confirm what was mentioned in the comments, defining the android.os.action.DEVICE_IDLE_MODE_CHANGED broadcast receiver via the AndroidManifest.xml has no effect.

The only way to register the receiver is to do it dynamically:

IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
filter.addAction(PowerManager.ACTION_DEVICE_IDLE_MODE_CHANGED);
context.registerReceiver(new BroadcastReceiver()
{
  @Override
  public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
  {
    onDeviceIdleChanged();
  }
}, filter);
