WifiManager.SUPPLICANT_CONNECTION_CHANGE_ACTION is never fired

Question

I am registering receiver on onResume():

registerReceiver(wifiConnectivityReceiver, new
                IntentFilter(WifiManager.SUPPLICANT_CONNECTION_CHANGE_ACTION));

This is the receiver itself :

class WiFiConnectivityReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        if (intent.getBooleanExtra(WifiManager.EXTRA_SUPPLICANT_CONNECTED,false)){
            Log.d(TAG,"Connected to network!");
        } else {
            Log.d(TAG,"Could not connect to network!");
        }
    }
}

In my application I am able to connect to selected WiFi network,but this SUPPLICANT_CONNECTION_CHANGE_ACTION is never fired.If I change it to SUPPLICANT_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION for example it is working.

I am working on ICS.
Did someone else experience problems like this with this intent?

I thing that the following code will help you:

public void installMyReceiver(){
    if (I) Log.i(TAG, "installMyReceiver() - Online");
    mFlag = true;


    myReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver(){
        public void onReceive (Context context, Intent intent){
            String action = intent.getAction();

            if (WifiManager.SUPPLICANT_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION.equals(action)){

                SupplicantState supplicantState = (SupplicantState)intent.getParcelableExtra(WifiManager.EXTRA_NEW_STATE);
                if (supplicantState == (SupplicantState.COMPLETED)){
                    if (I) Log.i(TAG, "SUPPLICANTSTATE ---> Connected");
                      //do something
                }

                if (supplicantState == (SupplicantState.DISCONNECTED)){
                    if (I) Log.i(TAG, "SUPPLICANTSTATE ---> Disconnected");
                       //do something
                }

            }
        }
    };

    IntentFilter mFilter = new IntentFilter (WifiManager.SUPPLICANT_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION);
    this.registerReceiver (myReceiver, mFilter);
}

It's a simple way to obtain the information which you want and then execute some action. I hope it can help you!
