onReceives() causes java.lang.IllegalStateException ?

Hi,

it seems that the version 3.1 is the origin of ANRs and crashes of our Android application in production. I haven’t reproduce it locally yet but the Google Play console reports: ANR: Broadcast of Intent { act=android.intent.action.LOCKED_BOOT_COMPLETED flg=0x9000010 cmp=de.spotlight.wordoftheday.deutsch/com.telerik.localnotifications.NotificationRestoreReceiver (has extras) }

Exceptions (mainly on Android 9):

java.lang.RuntimeException: 
  at android.app.ActivityThread.handleReceiver (ActivityThread.java:3606)
  at android.app.ActivityThread.access$1300 (ActivityThread.java:237)

Exceptions (mainly on Android 5.x, 6.x, 7.x., 8.x):

For the exceptions in Android 9 the error comes likely from the method onReceive() in https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/nativescript-local-notifications/blob/45221c199b4b0efd09d0c2849e7a4d26bf8dc42f/native-src/android/app/src/main/java/com/telerik/localnotifications/NotificationRestoreReceiver.java

In the method onReceive() shouldn’t a test be added before the method’s body:

     if (intent.getAction().equalsIgnoreCase(Intent.ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED)) {
       if (context != null) {
         // the previous code here     
       }

I don’t really understand the ins and outs of this part but it seems that it was the solution for:

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22538384/boot-completed-receiver-not-working-if-another-application-is-installed
• https://github.com/googlecodelabs/cosu/issues/12

Give 3.2.2 a go.
