No effect. I'm registering the listener in onCreate of my activity, not sure if that has any implications. I've also been assuming this should fire when prefs are either changed via a pref activity and/or when a commit is called from a shared pref editor?

It shouldn't be. It works in services, and services never have the focus.

Try using "this" instead of "getApplicationContext()"
