but when I have deleted that application and again downloaded from play store it is working fine all the functionality.

please help me to understand why this happening first time after updating application.

This happened because your a Service or Component in your app has been stopped.

You need to override you Service's or Component's onDestroy() and catch any DeadObjectException to prevent the crash. It happens only when service is killed by OS or application stop.

In Android Developer Documentation at https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/DeadObjectException.html it is mention that DeadObjectException occurs when the object you are calling has died, because its hosting process no longer exists.
