Thanks fadden, I've given this a try using "adb shell setprop dalvik.vm.enableassertions all", but the assert is still not firing. The precise order in which I performed the operations are: 1) launch debug from eclipse. 2) after emulator is up, run adb command from shell and set property as indicated in reference below. 3) re-launch a new instance of debug app. 4) "assert false" is not caught.
Am I missing some other settings? I mean no one else seems to have this problem but me? (I can't find other thread about assert not working here.)
