The main cause for this is that FlicManager.getInstance can throw a couple of runtime exceptions, amongst them AppCredentialsNotProvidedException and FlicAppNotInstalledException which if not caught will crash the app. This allows the concrete broadcast to catch and process these exceptions, without crashing the app.

I get the same error when implenting the broadcast receiver. |

(Another option would be to handle the exceptions in the FlicLib. But for our project we actually want to handle the exceptions ourselves.)
In general a more preferred option would be to not provide this as a class inheriting from BroadcastReceiver but instead provide a BroadcastHandler class, which accepted a callback interface.
