IllegalArgumentException: Receiver not registered: com.google.android.gms.common.api

Question

I've got an error from Crashlytics

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Receiver not registered: com.google.android.gms.common.api.c$a@425d95c8
   at android.app.LoadedApk.forgetReceiverDispatcher(LoadedApk.java:654)
   at android.app.ContextImpl.unregisterReceiver(ContextImpl.java:1157)
   at android.content.ContextWrapper.unregisterReceiver(ContextWrapper.java:378)
   at com.google.android.gms.common.api.c.gM()
   at com.google.android.gms.common.api.c.gJ()
   at com.google.android.gms.common.api.c.d()
   at com.google.android.gms.common.api.c$2.onConnected()
   at com.google.android.gms.internal.jm.f()
   at com.google.android.gms.internal.jm.dU()

and the listed lines do not point on code lines in my app, so that is difficult to understand what is the reason of issue.

What can be the reason ?

EDITED :

I'm not using BroadcastReceiver in the app and probably the crash is connected with Google Play services, but as I guess, I don't need to register them in the AndroidManifest. I just using

<meta-data
     android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
     android:value="...">

    </meta-data>

<meta-data
     android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
     android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version">
    </meta-data>

Apparently this is a recent issue of Google Play Services library, here you can see the topic about it.

Issue details :

Reported by [email protected], Jan 19, 2015 Ever since updating to the latest Google Play Services, I've been getting a few of these crash reports. The only class I use from Google Play Services is WearableListenerService, and an API client to check if there is a Wear device attached. The report is slightly different for each manufacturer. Here is one from Sony:
