Broadcast receiver works differently on different Version of Android (4.1.1 & 4.2.2)

Question

I have a problem that when I run my Android App which has Broadcast Receiver for WiFi. it perform differently on different version of Android OS (Like 4.1.1 and 4.2.2).

When I run it on 4.1.1 it works perfect like Broadcast receiver receive the Broad cast when Wifi state changed.(on Disconnect wifi broadcast receive I have calculate Total time for wifi connection and store it in database).

but when I run it on 4.2.2 , Broadcast Receiver calls twice when Wifi is disconnected so at that time values(i.e time for wifi connection) store in database twice.

So I need to know why this happened?Why Broadcast Receiver calls twice at the time of wifi disconnect? I need code such that it works same for all Android Versions.

Here It is my code.

If you want this BroadcastReciever to work for change in states (connected / disconnected) of wi-fi only, then below is your solution:

Instead of listening for actions - android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE & android.net.wifi.STATE_CHANGE, you should listen for the broadcast of only android.net.wifi.WIFI_STATE_CHANGED

Modify <receiver> tag in your manifest.xml file as:

<receiver android:name=".WiFiReceiver" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.net.wifi.WIFI_STATE_CHANGED" />
            </intent-filter>
</receiver>

In your onReceive() method of BroadcastReceiver, handle the wi-fi state changes as below:

    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {

        if (intent.getAction().equals(WifiManager.WIFI_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION)) {

            int newWifiState = intent.getIntExtra(
                    WifiManager.EXTRA_WIFI_STATE, WifiManager.WIFI_STATE_UNKNOWN);

            switch(newWifiState){

                case WifiManager.WIFI_STATE_ENABLED:

                    Toast.makeText(context, "Wi-fi is Connected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    // Put your code here to perform actions when wi-fi is connected
                    break;

                case WifiManager.WIFI_STATE_DISABLED:

                    Toast.makeText(context, "Wi-fi Disconnected", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                    // Put your code here to perform actions when wi-fi is disconnected
                    break;

        /* You can also handle cases for the states "Connecting" and "Disconnecting" 
        by switching for values WifiManager.WIFI_STATE_ENABLING and WifiManager.WIFI_STATE_DISABLING */
        }
    }

}

This works perfectly fine for me and code is executed only once when wi-fi is "Connected" or "Disconnected" :)
