Cannot receive search queries from Google Now

I am trying to connect Google Now SEARCH_ACTION with my searchable activity using this piece of code in my AndroidManifest.xml:

<activity android:name=".SearchableActivity"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="com.google.android.gms.actions.SEARCH_ACTION"/> <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/> </intent-filter> </activity>

I am following instructions on http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-fastest-route-between-voice-search.html and https://developer.android.com/guide/components/intents-common.html#SearchOnApp.

This is just not working. The search from Google Now is not launching my app. I have verified that:

  1. This works for Eat 24 app, confirming that there's no issue with right version of OS/Google app/Locale.
  2. I can launch app from inside my app and receive typed search queries, confirming that my SearchableActivity code doesn't have any issues.

Anyone has gotten this to work? Could you please let me know what I am missing here?

Well... looks like the app needs to be published on Play Store: https://plus.google.com/+AndroidDevelopers/posts/afSRdDQiy1N - look for comments by Jarek Wilkiewicz. Going to try this next.
