GoogleApiAvailability crash my app when SupportErrorDialogFragment has to show up

Question

My play service which i used in my project is:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:9.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:9.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:9.4.0'

its look that when there are some issues with the play-services and it should show any dialog to the user but my application already not in foreground so the onSaveInstanceState already happen and some callback which show error dialog rasie IllegalStateException.

Register callbacks in onStart. Unregister callbacks in onStop. Call to super in lifecycle methods. Profit. — Eugen Pechanec, Oct 26 '16 at 14:47

The IllegalStateException error means that your method has been invoked at an illegal or inappropriate time/state for your requested operation.

Here is the complete explanation on why you get this kind of error.

You can try to follow the solution in this issue by overriding the onResumeFragments() instead of OnPostResume.

Override OnPostResume, if you extend Activity (for API 11+)

Override onResumeFragments, if you extend FragmentActivity.
