[android-developers] Need more information about INSTALL_REFERRER

The com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER intent is used for google
analytics:
http://code.google.com/mobile/analytics/docs/android/

I have put that intent into an app as following:

<receiver android:name="com.mycompany.MyReceiver"
android:exported="true">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>

to do custom referrer tracking. Yes, I am triggering my own handler,
not the google analytics handler.

public class MyReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
try {
String referrer =
URLDecoder.decode(intent.getStringExtra("referrer"));
.
.
.

This worked several months ago quite effectively and I was getting
events after installing from the market. But it stopped working
sometime lately. Does anyone know if something changed in the market
etc?

Thanks,
Mark
