Crash on Android during startActivity()

I am attempting to run the library on Android, but it is crashing with the following message: android.util.AndroidRuntimeException: Calling startActivity() from outside of an Activity context requires the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag. Is this really what you want?

The full logcat/stacktrace is as follows:

Am I calling something wrong, or is this a bug, as it seems?

This answer seems to suggest it could be fixed with a simple extra line before startActivity() is called. I don't mind doing a pull request if this is the solution.
