InstallReferrerReceiver not working in live app

Question

I am developing an app in android studio and tracking referrer using referral link but my app not working in live condition

My app work fine when I send referrer using below command

adb shell
am broadcast -a com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER -n com.example.app/.InstallReferrerReceiver --es "referrer" "123456"

but when I install my app using play store link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?com.example.app&referrer=123456 then my app is not receiveing referrer

I already added receiver in my manifest file under application tag.

<receiver
    android:name=".InstallReferrerReceiver"
    android:exported="true"
    android:permission="android.permission.INSTALL_PACKAGES">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="com.android.vending.INSTALL_REFERRER" />
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

My InstallReferrerReciver

public class InstallReferrerReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        String referrer = intent.getStringExtra("referrer");
        SharedPreferences preferences = PreferenceManager.getDefaultSharedPreferences(context);
        if (referrer != null) {
            preferences.edit().putString("referral_code", referrer).apply();
        }
    }
}

INSTALL_REFERRER is no longer broadcast to the receiver since March 2020. Now if you want to use referral program in android app then you need to use Google Play Install Referrer API
