Firebase Crashlytics using Custom Exception Handler to restart application

Question

Problem: I work in an inherited project (its a very specific project) that requires us to have a custom exception handler that catches the exception, kills the application before the crash occurs and the application restarts (without the crash dialog).

What I tried:

I use the following custom exception handler to restart the Application process:

public class UncaughtExceptionHandler implements Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler {

    (…)

    @Override
    public void uncaughtException(final Thread thread, final Throwable throwable) {
        (…)

        AppUtils.restartApplication(context);
    }

}

And this is the code AppUtils.restartApplication(context):

public final class AppUtils {

    (…)

    public static void restartApplication(@NonNull final Context context) {
        startApplication(context);
        closeApplication();
    }

    private static void startApplication(@NonNull final Context context) {
        final Intent rescueIntent = new Intent(context, Activity.class);
        rescueIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

        final PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, rescueIntent, rescueIntent.getFlags());
        final AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) context.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);
        alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC, DateTime.now().plusSeconds(1).getMillis(), pendingIntent);
    }

    private static void closeApplication() {
        Process.killProcess(Process.myPid());
        System.exit(SYSTEM_EXIT_STATUS_FORCE_QUIT);
    }

}

Before we used Splunk, it worked very well. But now I need to add support for Firebase Crashlytics and Crashlytics, which owns the ExceptionHandler.

So, I came up with two scenarios that do not work for me:

• , Firebase;
• , Firebase;

logException Crashlytics , , : , . , - Firebase inicialization logException.
