Can't tell Locus Maps to send locus.api.android.ACTION_PERIODIC_UPDATE

What are the requirements for Locus Map to send locus.api.android.ACTION_PERIODIC_UPDATE ?

I did create an App with Locus API:

• it has an activity
• broadcast receiver is enabled by default

<application
            android:allowBackup="false"
            android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
            android:label="@string/app_name"
            android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

        <!-- receiver for handling of periodic updates -->
        <receiver android:name=".receivers.PeriodicUpdateReceiver">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="locus.api.android.ACTION_PERIODIC_UPDATE"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>

        <activity
                android:name=".MainActivity"
                android:theme="@style/AppTheme.NoActionBar">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>

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

cmd package query-receivers -a locus.api.android.ACTION_PERIODIC_UPDATE
1 receivers found:

1. exit locus maps
2. force close the process
3. start locus maps
4. enable GPS NMEA Simulation
5. start recording

Nothing happens in my debugger.

But If I do fire the intent over adb, I got a onReceive in my debugger:

am broadcast -a locus.api.android.ACTION_PERIODIC_UPDATE -e test test

I guess there is something missing to tell Locus Maps to send these ACTION_PERIODIC_UPDATE intents.

My broadcast Receiver is as basic as possible

package falcosc.locus.addon.tasker.receivers;

public class PeriodicUpdateReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
    @Override
    public void onReceive(final Context context, Intent intent) {
        // check intent
            Logger.logW(TAG, "onReceive(" + context + ", " + intent + ")");
    }
}

I use Locus Pro and in my classpath I have the locus api android 0.2.24 if this does matter in any way.
