    local ret = json.decode(val)
    sys.toast("mode:"..ret.mode.."\n"
            .."event:"..ret.event.."\n"

local eid = thread.register_event("xxtouch.activator_callback", function(val)
    local ret = json.decode(val)
    if ret.event=="libactivator.statusbar.tap.double" then
        sys.toast("Double-tap status bar callback")
    end
end)
--
sys.msleep(20000) -- wait 20 seconds
--
-- Unregister callback; without unregistering, the script will not end here
thread.unregister_event("xxtouch.activator_callback", eid)
