NoSuchMethod: isDestroyed()

Activity.isDestroyed() is available starting at API level 17. If your application settings are for a lower API, you'll get this Exception.

You can write like this to avoid the problem:

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR1) {
    if (!act.isDestroyed()) {
        act.overridePendingTransition(0, 0);
        act.finish();
    }
}

According to Activity.onDestroyed(), this is available in API Level 17 and up which is the latest Android version 4.2+

What Android version are you trying to run this code on?
