Unable to start service com.google.android.gms.analytics.AnalyticsService@3399b37 with null

Question

I am receiving these crash reports from my crash reporting tools. I don't which code to provide here so just let me know if you want to see any particular code.

I haven't put anything related to GoogleAnalytics in onStart method as it is not mentioned in documentation.

Fatal Exception: java.lang.RuntimeException Unable to start service com.google.android.gms.analytics.AnalyticsService@3399b37 with null: java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'java.lang.String android.content.Intent.getAction()' on a null object reference
