I recommend you use ARCA https://github.com/ACRA/acra.

Include arca in your build.gradle--it uses the apache 2.0 license as of 10/29.

compile 'ch.acra:acra:4.9.0' //TODO:  Apache 2.0 license https://github.com/ACRA/acra

In your class that extends Application, drop this on top of the "class" declaration.

@ReportsCrashes(mailTo = "someone@somewhere.com",
        customReportContent = { ReportField.APP_VERSION_CODE, ReportField.APP_VERSION_NAME, ReportField.ANDROID_VERSION, ReportField.PHONE_MODEL, ReportField.CUSTOM_DATA, ReportField.STACK_TRACE, ReportField.LOGCAT },
        mode = ReportingInteractionMode.TOAST,
        resToastText = R.string.resToastText) //you get to define resToastText
public class MyApplication extends Application {

Then override the following method from the same Application class like so:

@Override
protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
    super.attachBaseContext(base);

    // The following line triggers the initialization of ACRA
    ACRA.init(this);
}
