I did mention before that JSR82 is the most stupid Bluetooth API that I
have seen so far, didn't I? Personally I wouldn't even bother with JSR82
and give up right away. It is really a pointless API.

In BlueZ the services bits of the class of device settings are modified
dynamically based on the registered SDP service records. So you don't
have to do anything. Just register the right SDP service record with the
proper UUID and it will take care of this automatically.
