Note also that your application must be running in order to get
notified by the fileobserver.
If the directory get changed while your app is down it won't get
notified.
You may consider to use a service or save the state of the directory
in "onPause" method and compare it in "onResume". It depends on what
you need to do with these changes.
Hope this helps,
