Question

BeaconParser beaconParser = new BeaconParser()
    .setBeaconLayout("m:2-3=beac,i:4-19,i:20-21,i:22-23,p:24-24,d:25-25");
Beacon beacon = new Beacon.Builder()
    .setId1("2f234454-cf6d-4a0f-adf2-f4911ba9ffa6")
    .setId2("1")
    .setId3("2")
    .setManufacturer(0x0118)
    .setTxPower(-59)
    .setDataFields(Arrays.asList(new Long[]{0l}))
    .build();
beaconTransmitter.startAdvertising(beacon, new AdvertiseCallback() {

    @Override
    public void onStartFailure(int errorCode) {
        Log.e(TAG, "Advertisement start failed with code: " + errorCode);
    }

    @Override
    public void onStartSuccess(AdvertiseSettings settingsInEffect) {

    }
 });

Run this,The log "Advertisement start succeeded." is shown, is success. But,mBeaconManager.startMonitoringBeaconsInRegion(region); not find the altBeacon.

You cannot detect a beacon on the same device that is transmitting the packets. This is not a limitation specific tothe Android Beacon Library, it is just how Bluetooth LE works. It is common for radio hardware systems to be designed not to receive their own transmissions.
