Android.intent.action.my_package_replaced Not Working

I can't seem to catch this and I also can't see it being sent in Logcat. From reviewing ACTION_MY_PACKAGE_REPLACED not received, it appears MY_PACKAGE_REPLACED should be all I nee

Solution 1:

Upon further investigation, this works properly if Android Studio (AS) is removed from the picture; use it to build the APK and, perhaps, view Logcat, but that’s it. If I only install/replace the app from the command line/Terminal, and do not Run app and related from AS, this works as intended. In my case, since I frequently install/Run from AS, I had to do the following TWICE and android.intent.action.MY_PACKAGE_REPLACED was caught the SECOND time:

adb -s emulator-5554 install -r app-debug.apk

I repeat, running the app from Android Studio, in this regard, severally messes with android.intent.action.MY_PACKAGE_REPLACED and I, sadly, lost a couple of hours figuring this out!
