[android-developers] GPS Fix Status

I am trying to detect when a GPS fix is made (i.e. when the gps icon
changes from blinking to solid) and when it is lost (i.e. when the gps
icon changes from solid to blinking). The system obviously knows when
these changes occur. I have tried using a broadcast receiver to catch
the intent:

IntentFilter filter = new
IntentFilter("android.location.GPS_FIX_CHANGE");

But I have not been able to get it to work. The intent seems to get
fired on GPS fix changes, but I
don't know how to determine if the intent means that the fix is good
or bad or something else. Is
this a legitimate intent (I found from a web search) for this purpose?
If not, what is the best way of detecting GPS Fix changes?

thanks...
