IllegalArgumentException not catched

A very strange error...I register and unregister a receiver in the onResume() and onPause() methods. Here is the code in the onStop() method:

    try{
        this.unregisterReceiver(this.sdCardReceiver);
    }catch(IllegalArgumentException e){
        Log.d(MyOwnLife.LOG_LIFEGALLERY, "ActivityVideo - onStop unregisterReceiver:"+e);
    }

And I get the following error:

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Receiver not registered: myownlife.pigeau.activityVideo.ActivityVideo$SdCardReceiver@405443f8

I catch the error...but my application crashes anyway...any idea ?

Here is the full log:

If you are using a local broadcast then try this

 onPause(){
  LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).unregisterReceiver(broadcastReceiver);
  }

I assume that exeption you have got is not thrown from your code, or even from Activity class code, but has been created at some system level library, so there is no way to handle it properly.

Here you find workaround: Android - BroadcastReceiver unregisterReceiver issue (not registered)
