Just be careful when employing solutions such as this.  I used to have something similar to delay the start of speech synthesis when users entered a particular screen in my kiosk.  However, my automated testing framework could exit the screen before the selector would be called.  I believe in my case it caused a crash.

I would definitely look for other solutions and use this one as a last resort.
