onPageSelected isn't triggered when calling setCurrentItem(0)

I have an Activity with a ViewPager which displays a bunch of pictures. When it starts the ViewPager's position is set based on what the user selected in a previous Activity. Similar to a gallery.

I want the onPageSelected to be called every time a new page is selected, i.e. when the Activity is first opened or when the user slides to a new page.

I set the starting point like so:

 mPager.setCurrentItem(index);

Everything works, except when setCurrentItem called with index set to 0 as this will not trigger onPageSelected.

mPager.setOnPageChangeListener(new OnPageChangeListener() {
  @Override
  public void onPageSelected(int index) {
    Log.d(TAG, "onPageSelected " + index);
  }
  ...
}

So my question is; is this a bug, and if so what can I do about it?

The cleanest solution I've found to this so far is to take a reference to the onPageChangeListener you set on the ViewPager (since I don't think there's a ViewPager.getOnPageChangeListener() method), then after you've set the ViewPager's adapter, call:

onPageChangeListener.onPageSelected(viewPager.getCurrentItem());

However, the fragment for the page at the current index won't have been instantiated yet (at least if you're using FragmentStatePagerAdapter), so you may need to wrap it in a runnable, ala:

viewPager.post(new Runnable(){
@Override
    public void run() {
        onPageChangeListener.onPageSelected(viewPager.getCurrentItem());
    }
});

Also, if within the onPageSelected handler you need a reference to the fragment, you'll have to do that yourself. I use an abstract base class for my FragmentStatePagerAdapter which overrides the instantiate and destroy methods, and adds/removes the fragments from a SparseArray.

public class PageChangeListener implements ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener {
    @Override
    public void onPageScrolled(int position, float positionOffset, int positionOffsetPixels) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onPageSelected(int position) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int state) {
        if (state == ViewPager.SCROLL_STATE_IDLE && getCurrentItem() == 0) {
         //this indicate viewpager finish scroll and page at position 0 is selected.
        }

The simplest solution will be using of function e.g.

    viewpager.addOnPageChangeListener(new ViewPager.OnPageChangeListener() {

        @Override
        public void onPageScrollStateChanged(int state) {}

        @Override
        public void onPageScrolled(int position, float positionOffset, int positionOffsetPixels) {}

        @Override
        public void onPageSelected(int position) {
            onPage(position);
        }
    });

    // call first time
    onPage(0); 

    private void onPage(int position) {
        //...
    }

If the ViewPager is in a fragment, in the onViewCreated method, call mPager.setOnPageChangeListener(this)
