Applications each run in their own process, and do not run in the same process as the system process where the window manager service runs. Thus they all have their own independent static globals. What you are doing fundamentally won't work. To have a global across the system, you'd need to have an IPC interface to a single entity maintaining the value, and if you do that you need to deal with all of the associated complexity: defining the interface, implementing the threaded service for it, designing access so that remote processes don't have to perform IPCs all the time to it, etc.
