Handle an android device shut down (ISSUE : The intent is received only the first time)

I'm trying to handle an android device shut down : When the device is shutting down, a singleton, named PostManager, sends a POST request.

To do so, i'm using a BroadcastReceiver : 

 public class DeviceOffReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SHUTDOWN)) {
            PostManager.getInstance().onDeviceOff();
        }
    }
}

public class PostManager{
        public void onDeviceOff() {
        sendRequest();
    }
}

Here is the BroadcastReceiver initialization :

    IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter(".DeviceOffReceiver");
    filter.addAction(Intent.ACTION_SHUTDOWN);
    mShutDownReceiver= new DeviceOffReceiver ();
    app.registerReceiver(mShutDownReceiver, filter);

This code works perfectly.. but only the first time. By "first time", I mean the first time the app is run. Has anyone ever experienced the same issue ?

EDIT : I register the intent ACTION_SCREEN_OFF. I receive it every time. It has something to do with the ACTION_SHUTDOWN intent.

My device version is 4.3. I tried to run the app with another device (on 5.0.2) and it works every time...

So it has something to do with 4.3 (maybe ?).

Make sure you put this code into Manifest. You can use this code to solve issue:

<receiver android:name=".DeviceOffReceiver">
   <intent-filter>
   <action android:name="android.intent.action.ACTION_SHUTDOWN" />
   </intent-filter>
</receiver>
