How I can fix that problem?

Can I know how Activity was started by looking at crash stack trace?

I have a NPE and it seems that my Activity is started in some weird way/context as some components (constructed by dependency injection - dagger 2 - which are normally instantiated and working well) are null. All I have is call stack trace with NPE on top of it.
So can I say that my Activity was created/recreated in some special way by examining this:
//... and then all onCreate goes on and finally a NPE on top of it

Upgrading the SDK to the latest version 9.4 of the Google Play Service should fix this issue.

The problem is definitely in the new Google Services (9.0.0 to 9.4.0). It tries to start something that returns null to the onActivityResult.
Probably the only way to fix this:
PackageManager pm = getPackageManager();
pm.setComponentEnabledSetting(new ComponentName(this, GoogleApiActivity.class), PackageManager.COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED, PackageManager.DONT_KILL_APP);

This is a bug in the Google Play Services SDK, up to 9.4.0. The fix should be in the next release, sorry about that.

Package Manager has died, DeadObjectException

We use our app on only one device type and we get this error pretty often on it.
The only instance for PackageManager is a BootupReceiver:
public class RestartHelper extends BroadcastReceiver
{
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Logger.getInstance().Log("Restart received");
Intent i = context.getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage( context.getPackageName() );
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
context.startActivity(i);
}
}
Exception:

Is this error hardware/system related?

Obviously there has another PackageManger call but not only in RestartHelper.java:
at com.cotris.roosapp.StandardActivity.onCreate(StandardActivity.java:49)
You man need to check the code detail in that.

The android.os.DeadObjectException means that you link to something, that does not exist any more.
the solution for my case was a hardware related problem, which created all kind of crashes of system processes in the background on the device.

DevicePolicyManger().getCurrentFailedPasswordAttempts crashes app

Seems like some of the DeviceAdmin functionality has been broken in Lollipop, at least on my Nexus 5.
This works perfectly on KitKat, JellyBean and Ice Cream Sandwich
#Override
public void onPasswordFailed(Context context, Intent intent) {
DevicePolicyManager policyManager = (DevicePolicyManager)context.getSystemService(Context.DEVICE_POLICY_SERVICE);
if(policyManager != null){
int attempts = policyManager.getCurrentFailedPasswordAttempts();
Log.v("TAG", "Attempts = " + attempts);
}
}
But on my Nexus 5 with Android 5.0 Lollipop it produces the following error:

It's been reported as an issue in the L-preview as well.
My question, what is causing this?

I have got same error then I realised that it may not work for the version 5.0 and above versions.So what I did is I am checking number of wrong attempts programmatically.Like If the someone wants to unlock pattern or pin if he enters wrong then receiver will catch and calls the passwordFailed() method.So I created on SharedPreference object and I am storing the number of passwordFailed() method is called. Based on that I am getting number of wrong patterns.I think this is correct way or not I don't know.
