Android- SMS_RECEIVED + broadcast in a foreground service crash

I have a service that is running in the foreground, inside this service i have a broadcast receiver, that listen to the SMS_RECEIVED action.

When the user is inside the application (both the application and the service are in the foreground) everything works well, and i am receiving the intent.

But when the user exists the application (only the service with the broadcast is in the foreground), the service stops when sms is received.

When the service is stopped no error reports are found anywhere (not in the logcat and no crash dialog pops up).

My service with the broadcast:

public class myService extends IntentService {
    private final BroadcastReceiver mReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver() {
        @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
            Toast.makeText(myService.this, intent.getAction(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    };

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        IntentFilter i= new IntentFilter("android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED");
        i.setPriority(999);
        registerReceiver(mReceiver, receiverFilter);
        startForeground(...);
    }

    public void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        stopForeground(true);
    }
}

And i also have the following permission in my manifest:

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />

myService is declared like this in the manifest:

<service
        android:name=".Services.myService"
        android:enabled="true"
        android:exported="false" />

I had the same problem and I solved it removing <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />. But removing this permission I can't detect incoming SMS, so I created a class like these Catching Outgoing SMS using ContentObserver and used MESSAGE_TYPE_RECEIVED = 1 instead MESSAGE_TYPE_SENT = 2. You need to add this permission <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS" />.
