The Crash happens in onPause in SearchSupportFragment

@Override
public void onPause() {
releaseRecognizer();
mIsPaused = true;
super.onPause();
}

particularly in releaseRecognizer();

Why's this happening?
When onResume is called the speechRecognizer is initialized but there's never a check whether the SpeechRecognizer is available, meaning

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/speech/SpeechRecognizer#isRecognitionAvailable(android.content.Context)

Inside the onResume function

@Override
public void onResume() {
super.onResume();
mIsPaused = false;
if (mSpeechRecognitionCallback == null && null == mSpeechRecognizer) {
mSpeechRecognizer = SpeechRecognizer.createSpeechRecognizer(
getContext());
mSearchBar.setSpeechRecognizer(mSpeechRecognizer);
}
if (mPendingStartRecognitionWhenPaused) {
mPendingStartRecognitionWhenPaused = false;
mSearchBar.startRecognition();
} else {
// Ensure search bar state consistency when using external recognizer
mSearchBar.stopRecognition();
}
}

There should be a check whether

if(SpeechRecognizer.isRecognitionAvailable(requireContext())
{
initializeSpeechRecognizer(); // copy the function body in onResume
}

Where does this break?
Especially on Amazon TV devices since they lack this speech recognizer.
