I am developing an app for an Android custom build.

This app needs to subscribe to AudioDeviceCallback in Android's AudioManager.

I'm using:

mAudioManager.registerAudioDeviceCallback(new MyDeviceCallback(), null);

where:

private class MyDeviceCallback extends AudioDeviceCallback 

 @Override
 public void onAudioDevicesAdded(AudioDeviceInfo addedDevices) 
 Log.d(LOG_TAG, "onAudioDevicesAdded(): New devices detected");
 updateAuxStatus();
 

 @Override
 public void onAudioDevicesRemoved(AudioDeviceInfo devices) 
 Log.d(LOG_TAG, "onAudioDevicesAdded(): devices removed");
 updateAuxStatus();
 

 private void updateAuxStatus() 
 AudioDeviceInfo devices = mAudioManager.getDevices(AudioManager.GET_DEVICES_INPUTS);
 boolean isPluggedIn = false;
 for (AudioDeviceInfo device : devices) 
 if (device.getType() == AudioDeviceInfo.TYPE_LINE_ANALOG) 
 isPluggedIn = true;
 
 
 onAuxPluggedInChanged(isPluggedIn);
 

This works fine when I run the app with normal user (u0_aXX) but when I run the app as system sharedUser (adding to the Manifest):

android:sharedUserId="android.uid.system"

This callback is being called only after subscribing, but never again. Even when other apps without system user are getting the call normally.

I've traced the call to the AudioManager code and found that postEventFromNative in the AudioPortEventHandler is never being called for my app when it is running as system sharedUser. Since that is a jni call I stopped because I don't fully understand how it works.

What really troubles me is that when running without system sharedUser the same code is working as intended. Is there some restriction to system sharedUser that might be causing this problem?
