  1. create receiver in Manifest 
<receiver android:name=".MyReceiver" >
    <intent-filter>
         <action android:name="android.intent.action.DATE_CHANGED" />
    </intent-filter>
  </receiver>
  1. create BroadcastReceiver class 
public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
       @Override
          public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
             if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_DATE_CHANGED)) {
                Log.e("", "ACTION_DATE_CHANGED received");
             }
         }
    }

100% working
