Ok found the problem.

In the manifest file - the receiver was defined as

        <receiver android:name=".LockScreenActivity$MyAdmin" 
            android:label="@string/sample_device_admin"
            android:description="@string/sample_device_admin_description"
            android:permission="android.permission.BIND_DEVICE_ADMIN">
            <meta-data android:name="android.app.device_admin" 
android:resource="@xml/device_admin_sample">
            <intent-filter>
                <action 
android:name="android.app.action.DEVICE_ADMIN_ENABLED"/>
            </intent-filter>
             </meta-data>
        </receiver>

Note the meta-data element has intent-filter nested inside it.

changed it to

            <meta-data android:name="android.app.device_admin" 
android:resource="@xml/device_admin_sample"/>

and now works as expected.

serve me right for downloading code segments from the internet.
