Cannot Detect Alt-beacon in android

I am using Radius networks altbeacon library in my android app , but whenever i broadcast altbeacon from locate app , my app cant detect the altbeacon .

This is my beacon parser :-

 mBeaconManager.getBeaconParsers().add(new BeaconParser().setBeaconLayout("m:2-3=beac,i:4-19,i:20-21,i:22-23,p:24-24,d:25-25"));

This is my ANDROID STUDIO LOGCAT :-

06-11 11:43:45.239 15797-16636/optimus.com.optimusiothome D/BeaconParser:Ignoring pdu type 01

whenever i transmit altbeacon from locate app in my iphone the below code is printed in logcat many times for my android app , but the main concern is , didRangeBeaconsInRegion() function is never called , and my code in the function is not executed i.e my android app cant detect altbeacon ( transmitting from locate app in myiphone ):-

06-11 11:44:38.669 18053-18072/optimus.com.optimusiothome D/ScanRecord: parseFromBytes
06-11 11:44:38.669 18053-18072/optimus.com.optimusiothome D/ScanRecord: first manudata for manu ID

And I am Using following dependency in android gradle :- 

compile 'org.altbeacon:android-beacon-library:2.7'

Some more code :- 

@Override
public void onBeaconServiceConnect() {
       Region region = new Region("all-beacon-region",null,null,null);
    // this tells the library that we want to know about any beacon we see.
    try {
        mBeaconManager.startMonitoringBeaconsInRegion(region);
    } catch (RemoteException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    //The last line sets the rangeNotifier to this class,
    //so our the same RangingActivity class will get callbacks each time a beacon is seen.
    mBeaconManager.setRangeNotifier(this);
}

@Override
public void didRangeBeaconsInRegion(Collection<Beacon> collection, Region region) {
    for(Beacon beacon : collection)
    {
        Log.d(TAG, "Beacon detected with id1: " + beacon.getId1() + " id2:" + beacon.getId2() + " id3: " + beacon.getId3() + " distance: " + beacon.getDistance());
        ((TextView)beacon_transmit_detect.this.findViewById(R.id.message)).setText("Beacon detected with id1: " + beacon.getId1() + " id2:" + beacon.getId2() + " id3: " + beacon.getId3() + " distance: " + beacon.getDistance());

    }
}



@Override
    protected void onResume()
    {
        super.onResume();
        mBeaconManager=BeaconManager.getInstanceForApplication(this.getApplicationContext());
        mBeaconManager.getBeaconParsers().add(new BeaconParser().setBeaconLayout("m:2-3=beac,i:4-19,i:20-21,i:22-23,p:24-24,d:25-25"));
 mBeaconManager.bind(this);
    }

And my main class implements BeaconConsumer,RangeNotifier .

ALTBEACON "m:2-3=beac,i:4-19,i:20-21,i:22-23,p:24-24,d:25-25"

EDDYSTONE TLM "x,s:0-1=feaa,m:2-2=20,d:3-3,d:4-5,d:6-7,d:8-11,d:12-15"

EDDYSTONE UID "s:0-1=feaa,m:2-2=00,p:3-3:-41,i:4-13,i:14-19"

EDDYSTONE URL "s:0-1=feaa,m:2-2=10,p:3-3:-41,i:4-20v"

IBEACON "m:2-3=0215,i:4-19,i:20-21,i:22-23,p:24-24"
