Unable to trigger chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener with google chrome extensions

I'm a bit stuck here and was wondering if anyone can point out where I might be wrong.

I am simply trying to make the body color change to red on click of the app icon.

manifest.json

{
    "name": "Bagde",
    "description": "",
    "version": "1",
    "manifest_version": 2,
    "background": {
        "scripts": [
            "background.js"
        ]
    },
    "browser_action": {
        "default_title": "Test",
        "default_popup": "popup.html"
    }
}

popup.html

<html>

    <head>
        <script src="popup.js"></script>
    </head>

    <body>
        <p>Some Content ..</p>
    </body>

</html>

popup.js

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function () {
    //Get Reference to Functions
    backGround = chrome.extension.getBackgroundPage();
    //Call Function
    backGround.updateIcon();
  });

background.js

var i = 1;

function updateIcon() {
    i = 1;
    chrome.browserAction.setBadgeText({
        text: 'Test'
    });
    chrome.browserAction.setPopup({
        popup: "popup.html"
    });
}


chrome.browserAction.setBadgeBackgroundColor({
    color: [200, 0, 0, 100]
});

window.setInterval(function () {
    chrome.browserAction.setBadgeText({
        text: String(i)
    });
    i++;
}, 4000);

chrome.browserAction.onClicked.addListener(function(tab) {
    chrome.tabs.executeScript(null,
        {code:"document.body.bgColor='red'"});
});

any ideas what I may be doing wrong? Thanks for taking your time to reading this.

If you define default_popup, you can't have a listener for browserAction.onClicked. In this case you can simply add the code in your handler to your popup.js.

EDIT: That is, add to popup.js the following:

chrome.tabs.executeScript(null, {code:"document.body.bgColor='red'"});
