This SO post http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20638252/android-exception-loadedapkforgetservicedispatcher888-adworker-2 suggest that it has to do with Interstitial ads showing as the user is exiting the Activity. Solution seems to be to ensure you are stopping ad loading on exit from the Activity.
