no meu aplicativo, estou usando o IntentService para enviar SMS.

    @Override
protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
    Bundle data = intent.getExtras();
    String[] recipients = null;
    String message = getString(R.string.unknown_event);
    String name = getString(R.string.app_name);
    if (data != null && data.containsKey(Constants.Services.RECIPIENTS)) {
        recipients = data.getStringArray(Constants.Services.RECIPIENTS);
        name = data.getString(Constants.Services.NAME);
        message = data.getString(Constants.Services.MESSAGE);
        for (int i = 0; i < recipients.length; i++) {
            if(!StringUtils.isNullOrEmpty(recipients[i])) {
                try {
                    Intent sendIntent = new Intent(this, SMSReceiver.class);
                    sendIntent.setAction(Constants.SMS.SEND_ACTION);
                    PendingIntent sendPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), 0, sendIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
                    Intent deliveryIntent = new Intent(this, SMSReceiver.class);
                    deliveryIntent.setAction(Constants.SMS.DELIVERED_ACTION);
                    PendingIntent deliveryPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(getApplicationContext(), 0, deliveryIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
                    SmsManager.getDefault().sendTextMessage(recipients[i].trim(), null, "[" + name + "] " + message, sendPendingIntent, deliveryPendingIntent);
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    Log.e(TAG, "sendTextMessage", e);
                    e.printStackTrace();
                    Toast.makeText(this, e.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    MainActivity.instance.writeToLogFile(e.getMessage(), System.currentTimeMillis());                       
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Ao executar o aplicativo, recebo o seguinte erro:

W/MessageQueue(7180): Handler (android.os.Handler) {42586468} sending message to a Handler on a dead thread

Meu SMSReceiver está localizado em outra classe. Como posso resolver esses problemas? Obrigado; Eyal.
