To detect WIFI connection state, I have used CONNECTIVITY_ACTION from ConnectivityManager class so:

    IntentFilter filter=new IntentFilter();
    filter.addAction(ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION);
    registerReceiver(receiver, filter);

and from your BroadCastReceiver:

    if (ConnectivityManager.CONNECTIVITY_ACTION.equals(action)) {
        int networkType = intent.getIntExtra(
                android.net.ConnectivityManager.EXTRA_NETWORK_TYPE, -1);
        if (ConnectivityManager.TYPE_WIFI == networkType) {
            NetworkInfo networkInfo = (NetworkInfo) intent
                    .getParcelableExtra(WifiManager.EXTRA_NETWORK_INFO);
            if (networkInfo != null) {
                if (networkInfo.isConnected()) {

                    // TODO: wifi is connected
                } else {
                    // TODO: wifi is not connected
                }
            }
        }

    }

ps:works fine for me:)
