No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.settings.LOCALE_SETTINGS }

I am creating a code that checks for the current location, however, when I check for the current location, it crashes. I looked into Stack Trace and saw this. I read other forums but I am not familiar with their solutions. I am also a beginner in Java. I used an Amazon Fire Tablet to download this app. When I tried testing it on the emulator, the app did not crash.

 android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.settings.LOCALE_SETTINGS }
        at android.app.Instrumentation.checkStartActivityResult(Instrumentation.java:1797)
        at android.app.Instrumentation.execStartActivity(Instrumentation.java:1517)

        at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:779)

Below is the code where it happened. 

private void onGPS() {
    final AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
    builder.setMessage("Enable GPS").setCancelable(false).setPositiveButton("YES", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
            startActivity(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_LOCALE_SETTINGS));
        }
    }).setNegativeButton("No", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
            dialog.cancel();
        }
    });
    final AlertDialog alertDialog = builder.create();
    alertDialog.show();
}

Intent i = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);
i.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); //This line solve my issue
startActivity(i);

Always use this method to start intents other than your app's - 

Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);
if(intent.resolveActivity(context.getPackageManager()) != null){
    startActivity(intent);
}else{
    //handle activity not found
}

this way you won't get ActivityNotFoundException.

You can also use try catch as -

try {
       startActivity(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS));
    } catch (e: ActivityNotFoundException) {
       //handle activity not found
    }

I suppose you want to navigate to GPS settings screen. try this.

startActivity(new Intent(Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS));

The phone/device might be missing locale settings screen altogether which leads to the crash.
