Android: How to get information about caught exceptions in Google Play Developer Console?

Question

When an app which is deployed in Google Play Store crashes, you see these crash reports. Let's say I have exceptions which are caught and logged with Log.e, is there a way to see these exceptions as well in any way? In other words: When I want to see errors that really matters for my workflow, is the only way to see these exceptions in Google Play Developer Console to throw a RuntimeException inside the app to crash the app by intention? (That would be really stupid).

Background: I currently implement in-app billing. There are really a lot of phases where possible exceptions can occur while the purchase process. If a customer will contact me and asks why the purchase process didn't work, how should I know if I don't see any information in Google Play Developer Console?
