Answer 1

I had the same thing and found out that at some point I called sendBroadcast(SOME_ACTION) from within a BroadcastReceiver that is registered to SOME_ACTION.

Things will seem OK for a while, but since it is all running on the same thread the receivers will actually hang around until the maximum number is reached. Don't be fooled by the calls to registerReceiver in the stack trace, that's just how the calls are routed.
