I don't see anything obviously wrong, so here are some things to look at:
1. Make sure you have your <receiver> in the proper place in the
manifest. It should be a child of <application> and a peer of any
<activity> or related component elements.
2. I am not certain if a Toast will work from a BroadcastReceiver. If
you are concerned that your Log statement might not be being logged, try
bumping it to warning (Log.w) or error (Log.e).
3. Check LogCat for warnings. For example, if Android cannot find your
BroadcastReceiver for some reason, you will get a warning in LogCat, not
an error.
