exception on sending an automatic email

I am trying to send an automatic email in background as a notification for the user, I am getting a null pointer exception on the following line,

Transport.send(message);

Can anyone help? Thanks.

Here's my snippet,

 public synchronized void sendMail(String subject, String body, String sender, String recipients) throws Exception {   
    try{

    MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(session);   
    DataHandler handler = new DataHandler(new ByteArrayDataSource(body.getBytes(), "text/plain"));   
    message.setSender(new InternetAddress(sender));   
    message.setSubject(subject);   
    message.setDataHandler(handler);   
    if (recipients.indexOf(',') > 0)   
        message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, InternetAddress.parse(recipients));   
    else  
        message.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(recipients));   

       //    Log.v("ziad", "wanna send...");
         Transport.send(message);   
      //   Log.v("ziad", "sent...");
    }catch(Exception e){

        Log.v("ziad",e.getMessage());
    }
}

I added the internet permission as well.

Here's my logCat,

Perhaps MimeMessage needs its text set? Try setting a blank message like so:

message.setText("");

See if that gets rid of your NPE.

Edit: Actually, I think it may be this line:

Log.v("ziad",e.getMessage());

Try commenting that out and see if it helps.
