Broadcastreciever on intent Wifi_State_Changed doesn't receive "Enabling" state change

[MBuenter]

Steps to Reproduce

1. Register broadcast receiver on intent WifiManager.WifiStateChangedAction
2. In the OnReceive handler of the broadcast receiver check additonally the lookup key ExtraWifiState:
   intent.GetIntExtra(WifiManager.ExtraWifiState, (int)WifiState.Unknown);
3. Start the app on device. Enable respectively disable the Wifi manually on device. Check the OnReceive handler respectively the lookup key.

Expected Behavior

Enabling Wifi (if previously disabled): The wifi state changes to enabling then to enabled, so the OnReceive handler gets called two times.
Disabling Wifi (if previously enabled): The wifi state changes to disabling then to disabled, so the OnReceive handler gets called two times.

Actual Behavior

Enabling Wifi (if previously disabled): The wifi state changes to enabled, the OnReceive handler gets called one time and the Wifi is not yet enabled. The state changes immediately from disabled to enabled.
Disabling Wifi (if previously enabled): The wifi state changes to disabling then to disabled, the OnReceive handler gets called two times.

As is often the case, a repro project to ensure we're on the same page would be appreciated.

For example, this stackoverflow post notes that:

1. WifiManager.NETWORK_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION should be used, not WifiManager.WIFI_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION, and
2. The app needs the appropriate permissions android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE and android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE. This report doesn't mention which permissions, if any, are enabled.

Additionally, while your Expected Behavior is for the broadcast to be received twice, I cannot easily see anything within the Android documentation which would confirm that expectation.

Rephrased: What happens in Java? If Java only gets the broadcast once, then this is working as it should.

Regardless, I doubt that this is a Xamarin.Android issue. This is more likely a question around the particulars of Android itself. This would only be a Xamarin.Android bug if the equivalent Java app received two broadcasts, while the Xamarin.Android app only received one.
