java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: register too many Broadcast Receivers

Question

I'm getting an java.lang.IllegalArgumentException with the following message regist too many Broadcast Receivers (yes, the message says regist and not register) when trying to get the latest ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED sticky intent. I use the following code:

Intent latestStickyIntent = getApplicationContext().registerReceiver(null, new IntentFilter(Intent.ACTION_BATTERY_CHANGED));

As you can see, there is no actual register of a new receiver since i'm using null as the BroadcastReceiver.

As far as I can see, this only happens for a single user on a HUAWEI RIO L01 device but I can't say if that's the cause.

Anyone had a similar experience with that error?

UPDATE (03/2016):

Started seeing the same issue on other Huawei devices (ALE L04, G7 L03) but still no devices from other manufacturers.

just for interest: why You are passing null instead of a BroadcastReceiver? — Opiatefuchs, Feb 05 '16 at 09:38
@Opiatefuchs registering a null receiver only gets you the latest sticky without actually registering a new receiver — Muzikant, Feb 05 '16 at 10:08
pff...sorry, if had read the question carefully, I hadn´t to aks :)..... — Opiatefuchs, Feb 05 '16 at 10:21
I'm experiencing the same problem on HUAWEI RIO L01 but using the Glide library because under the hood it uses a broadcast receiver to monitor the connectivity changes. Obliviously this is an issue in the Huawei code. — rciovati, Mar 22 '16 at 18:05
Recently, I saw a couple of similar reports too. And I also use Glide by the way. I'm curious if @Muzikant uses Glide too. Here is the thread on Glide about the issue https://github.com/bumptech/glide/issues/1161 — GregoryK, Nov 14 '16 at 13:01
I am also experiencing the same issue. Again with 100% Huawei devices and %100 Android 5.1.X (not using Glide) — ra3o.ra3, Nov 14 '16 at 15:37
For our app: Manufactuer: 95% Huawei, 5% Samsung. OS: 97% 5, 3% 6 — vman, Feb 06 '17 at 18:22
Have you found any solution? We don't use Glide and have this issue on Huawei devices. — user2924714, Aug 22 '17 at 06:57

This is the confine of huawei's mobile phone system. Huawei's mobile phone has a white list mechanism. Only the APP in their white list can avoid this bug. I use reflection to try to solve this bug. may help for you

        super.onCreate();
