$ stateChangeSuccess is not called

I have an update function that calls $ state.go (). In some cases, the $ stateChangeSuccess handler is called and others are not, but I don't understand why. I need a state change handler.

update function

$scope.refresh = function( group ) {
  ...
  $state.go($state.current.name, $stateParams, {
    reload: true,
    location: true,
    inherit: true,
    relative: $state.$current,
    notify: true
  });

      

        
        
        
      

    

$ stateChangeSuccess handler

$scope.$on('$stateChangeSuccess', function( event, toState, toParams, fromState, fromParams ) {
  console.log('$stateChangeSuccess handler called');
});

      

        
        
        
      

    

I'm wondering if there might be something that is interfering with the $ stateChangeSuccess handler? I thought there might be a $ stateChangeStart handler canceling the operation, but it doesn't.
