Async Validator not working with Template driven Forms in Angular

I have created a Async Validator for my Template Driven form .

import {Directive, forwardRef} from "@angular/core";
import {NG_ASYNC_VALIDATORS, Validator, AbstractControl, AsyncValidator} from "@angular/forms";
import {Observable} from "rxjs";


@Directive({
  selector: '[asyncValidator][ngModel]',
  providers: [{
    provide: NG_ASYNC_VALIDATORS, useExisting: forwardRef(() => AsyncAgeValidator), multi: true

  }]
})

export class AsyncAgeValidator implements Validator{

  validate(c: AbstractControl): Observable<{[key : number] : any}>{
      return this.validateAgeObservable(c.value);
  }

  validateAgeObservable( age: number ) {
    return new Observable(observer => {

      if( age === 20 ) {
        observer.next(null);
      } else {
        observer.next({asyncInvalid: true});
        console.log('validate');
      }
    });
  }

  }


}

I am using it in my Template as follows but i do not get the Error message i expect from the validator in the template. the call is going to the validator but i guess it is not registering the observable in the component.

<md-input-container>
  <input mdInput type="number" name="age" [(ngModel)]="user.age" placeholder="Age" required asyncValidator>
</md-input-container>

To add to yurzui's second answer:

this works:

validate(c: AbstractControl): Observable<{[key : number] : any}>{
    return this.validateAgeObservable(c.value).first();
}

so does this:

validate(c: AbstractControl): Observable<{[key : number] : any}>{
    return this.validateAgeObservable(c.value).take(1);
}
