Why isn't my Screen On/Off BroadcastReceiver working?

Here is my Receiver file. Which I feel doesn't have any kind of problem. I just prints the type of intent which is passed. According to me onReceive is never called. I guess there is a problem with my manifest itself? Or any other ideas? The Receiver is not linked to any anyother code in the application.

package sharukh.locky;

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.util.Log;

public class BroadCastReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
    public BroadCastReceiver()
    {
    }

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
    {
        Log.i("rece", intent.getAction());
    }
}

My Manifest also looks good, but I can't figure out why it isn't working.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest package="sharukh.locky"
          xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
        <activity android:name=".Tutorial"/>

            android:label="@string/title_activity_lock_screen"
            android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar"/>

        <!-- Services -->
        <service
            android:name=".LockyService"
            android:enabled="true"
            android:exported="true"/>

        <receiver
            android:name=".BroadCastReceiver"
            android:enabled="true"
            android:exported="true">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.SCREEN_OFF"/>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.HEADSET_PLUG"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>
    </application>

</manifest>

I haven't dynamically added/registered/unregistered any receivers. I would require some help here.

You can do this by trying dynamic calling of broadcast like below 

public class YourActivity extends Activity {

    //Create broadcast object
    BroadcastReceiver mBroadcast = new BroadcastReceiver() {    
    //When Event is published, onReceive method is called
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        Log.i("[BroadcastReceiver]", "MyReceiver");

        if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON)) {
            Log.d("[BroadcastReceiver]", "Screen ON");
        } else if (intent.getAction().equals(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF)) {
            Log.d("[BroadcastReceiver]", "Screen OFF");
        }

    }
};

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        registerReceiver(mBroadcast, new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_ON));
        registerReceiver(mBroadcast, new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_SCREEN_OFF));
    }
}
