Description
When make use of applet status callback, race condition could cause the callback not invoked as callback could be set after the status already set to desired value.

What is expected is that, when set the callback first time, if applet status meet the critetia, the callback should be invoked. Afterwards, callback should be invoked if the applet status changes.
Comments
EVALUATION We should make sure the callback is invoked if state matches when setting it, in this way, we don't need to worry about race condition and developer can always get result expected.
