How do I determine which app caused a BugReport on my Android Phone

I have a phone running Android 4.4.2. Once or twice a day I get a BugReport notification where I can email it to someone. How do I determine which which app causes this crash? Is there something that can be read out of this to determine?

As a developer, I'm also curious if there is something I can do in my program to make sure that it is clear what app is crashing, and who it should be emailed to.

I came here looking for the answer to this question, but other than a guess, no one had really answered it. Additional searching and I found the answer here: If you hold the volume-up and power keys, it will generate a bug report.

So therefore nothing is crashing. (sigh of relief)

I also thought something was crashing to generate this. I guess I need to figure out how to not let these keys get pressed when my phone is in my pocket.

Would be nice if the phone would disable these hotkeys — and the power key as well — while it's off and upside down. But that would be too useful.

These notifications are happening because you have USB debugging enabled in the developer options - they are Android bug reports and not application specific. Typically if an app has crashed it will generate an ANR(Application Not Responding) dialogue and you will know which app caused it.

These reports themselves are stored on your SD card.

EDIT: related - What does it mean with bug report captured in android tablet?

I would recommend installing 1 application at a time and waiting some amount of time to see if that is the one generating the error.
