OK, after digging into the android system code, I think I figured out what's wrong here... the class "HeadsetObserver" from the base system actually sends out this intent with its FLAG_RECEIVER_REGISTERED_ONLY flag set... obviously, there's no way to receive this intent without implementing a service.
