DfuService has leaked IntentReceiver

See original GitHub issue

Using the Android DFU Library 1.0.0, I receive the following error when the DFU successfully finishes:

09-05 13:19:43.407 29695-29695/no.nordicsemi.android.nrftoolbox E/ActivityThread: Service no.nordicsemi.android.nrftoolbox.dfu.DfuService has leaked IntentReceiver no.nordicsemi.android.dfu.BaseDfuImpl$1@96850a2 that was originally registered here. Are you missing a call to unregisterReceiver()?

This error occurs with the nRF Toolbox and also with my own application that uses the Android DFU Library. The tests have been ran with a Nexus 5X on Android 6.0.1.

Should something be done with the DFU library? Or with the apps using it?
