how to start an activity from UncaughtExceptionHandler in DaggerApplication

Question

I'm facing a similar scenario like this with the same strange behaviour: The intent will not fire, the crash dialog won't be showed either and the app closes by itself after crashing. Logcat shows the error like this:

E/InputEventSender: Exception dispatching finished signal.
E/MessageQueue-JNI: Exception in MessageQueue callback: handleReceiveCallback
E/MessageQueue-JNI: java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "7512186516213"
and so on....
D/Android Runtime: Shutting down VM

How can we start an activity from UncaughtExceptionHandler in DaggerApplication ?

Here is my code. I'm using the applicationContext everywhere and I have registered the ExceptionDisplay activity in my Manifest file. I'm sure that the DaggerApplication can handle this as well as the Application class, but I unfortunately can't solve it by myself.

class IpunktApp : DaggerApplication() {

    override fun applicationInjector(): AndroidInjector<out DaggerApplication> =
        DaggerAppComponent.factory().create(this)

    private lateinit var defaultUEH: Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler

    private val unCaughtExceptionHandler = Thread.UncaughtExceptionHandler { thread, ex ->
        val stringWriter = StringWriter()
        ex?.printStackTrace(PrintWriter(stringWriter))
        val exception = stringWriter.toString()
        saveLogs(exception.toByteArray(), applicationContext)

        applicationContext.startActivity(Intent(Intent(applicationContext, ExceptionDisplay::class.java).apply {
            putExtra("error", exception)
            addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK)
            addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK)
        }))

        defaultUEH.uncaughtException(thread, ex)
        exitProcess(1)
    }


    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        setupExceptionHandler()
    }


    private fun setupExceptionHandler() {
        try {
            defaultUEH = Thread.getDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler()
            Thread.setDefaultUncaughtExceptionHandler(unCaughtExceptionHandler)
        } catch (e: Exception) {
            e.printStackTrace()
        }
    }
}

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
