Does Google's Activity Recognition works on every Android device supporting API higher than 8?

Question

I'm trying to launch any android ActivityRecognition example but have no success after couple of days. I installed Google Services, successfully connected to LocationServices client, installed the latest SDK, placed intent service in my app, turned on Location Services in device preferences but still - no update, no calls of onHandleIntent (btw, I placed breakpoint in the intent service's constructor and it seems that application never come there: is it normal?).
My device is XPERIA M. I tried the following code from android dev guide: http://developer.android.com/shareables/training/ActivityRecognition.zip and from here: https://github.com/diegofigueroa/activity-recognition-sample

All code was used unaffected, except adding a meta-data tag:

<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version"/>

you've followed the whole flow as discussed in http://developer.android.com/training/location/activity-recognition.html ? — Ryhan, Jun 16 '14 at 03:54
What does [GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable()](http://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/gms/common/GooglePlayServicesUtil.html#isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(android.content.Context)) return? — ianhanniballake, Jun 16 '14 at 04:14

Closed. Solved by re-install of the Google Play Services on the phone. Weird stuff, thank you all.
