Subscribe to a BLE Gatt notification Android

I´m developing an BLE app, based on the Gatt sample project provided by google: https://developer.android.com/samples/BluetoothLeGatt/index.html. So, I can send data writing in a characteristic successfully. Now I need to know when this characteristic change its value. I understand that I need to implement the setCharacteristicNotification() method and the onDescriptorWrite() method. But I cant do that this works. Searching, I found some ideas about that: Android BLE API: GATT Notification not received, What are the steps to get notified by Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device?, but still no luck I dont understand how it works, what parameter I need define or what I need to do!!!. Some good soul can share me a complete project that do this. All that I need is visualize the value of the characteristic when the BLE device returns some data.

I read the official Android documentation, but it is not so specific about that. Thanks in advance

These are my codes:

What is GATT service on Android?

The GATT profile is a general specification for sending and receiving short pieces of data known as "attributes" over a BLE link. All current BLE application profiles are based on GATT.

What is GATT service on my phone?

GATT is an acronym for the Generic ATTribute Profile, and it defines the way that two Bluetooth Low Energy devices transfer data back and forth using concepts called Services and Characteristics.

To receive notification in Android you need to set characteristic notification to true

gatt.setCharacteristicNotification(characteristic, true); 

You also need to set the client characteristic configuration descriptor 0x2902

// 0x2902 org.bluetooth.descriptor.gatt.client_characteristic_configuration.xml UUID uuid = UUID.fromString("00002902-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb"); BluetoothGattDescriptor descriptor = characteristic.getDescriptor(uuid); descriptor.setValue(BluetoothGattDescriptor.ENABLE_NOTIFICATION_VALUE); gatt.writeDescriptor(descriptor); 

A better API would be for setCharacteristicNotification to set the descriptor, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work that way.

In addition to the accepted answer, I had to set the Characteristic to WRITE_TYPE_DEFAULT when subscribing to peripheral running on OS X.

characteristic.setWriteType(BluetoothGattCharacteristic.WRITE_TYPE_DEFAULT);
