I have android.app.RemoteServiceException(RSE) but without any message.
I get the following crash report on the play console. When I get RSE due to bad notification or broadcast I get the related message but in this case its a black crash.
android.app.RemoteServiceException:
at android.app.ActivityThread$H.handleMessage (ActivityThread.java:1813)
at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage (Handler.java:102)
at android.os.Looper.loop (Looper.java:154)
at android.app.ActivityThread.main (ActivityThread.java:6781)

at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run (ZygoteInit.java:1520)
at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main (ZygoteInit.java:1410)
I started getting these crashes primarily on Android 7 and Samsung devices(in large)
We are following Standard guidelines for Notifications and broadcasts.
Target SDK: 25
Compile SDK: 26
I have gone through many StackOverflow questions related to RemoteServiceException but not been able to find RCA hence posting the new question.
Below are the questions I have checked and not able to find a resolution for RSE

- Fatal Exception: android.app.RemoteServiceException: can't deliver broadcast at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage
It might be very late, but do you have content providers in your app?
If they are, are they properly declared in the manifest?
I saw ActivityThread class code for API 26. The line where the error happens is 1813.
case INSTALL_PROVIDER:
handleInstallProvider((ProviderInfo) msg.obj);
break;
Following the code shows that the app is not able to publish the content provider and crashing there.
try {
ActivityManager.getService().publishContentProviders(
getApplicationThread(), results);
} catch (RemoteException ex) {
throw ex.rethrowFromSystemServer();
}
Late!! but might help others to debug their case.
