Assalamu'alaikum w.w.
This is incorrect.
The Shayateen are pelted with shooting stars (AL-shihab Al-Thaqib) when they attempt to listen in to the conversations of the Angels. Allah (SWT) says in Surah Al-Hijr, "And we have protected them from every outcast satan, but the the one who troes to eavesdrop is chased by a clearly visible flame." (15:18) Further details can be seen in the English Ma'aarif-ul-Qur'an, Vol. 5, Page 303.
