I just did a quick test with your apk and:

Galaxy Nexus - Android 4.0.1 - Kernel 3.0.1-ga052f63 - FAIL
Galaxy S 2 - Android 2.3.4 - Kernel 2.6.35.11-ninphetamine-2.1.3 - PASS
(pls note that this is a custom ROM, I couldn't test right now with a stock
ROM)

Tomorrow I will test on a Nexus S, Xoom, and Archos G9.

Cheers,
Yuvi
