Having some interesting issue with transaction on fragments on Android Lollipop ONLY. Crash happens when i go back and remove previously added fragment.

Here is stacktrace :

How i am doing transaction :

getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
            .replace(R.id.list_holder, listFragment)
            .commit();

R.id.list_holder

<FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/list_holder"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">
</FrameLayout>

How i remove it :

 getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
            .remove(listFragment)
            .commit();

And I`m receiving the crash on last code fragment.

UPDATE

After i had removed it has no crashes anymore:

Transition slideTransition = TransitionInflater.from(ParkmeApplication.getContext()).inflateTransition(R.transition.slide_right);
setExitTransition(slideTransition);

slide_right : 

<transitionSet xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <slide
        android:duration="@android:integer/config_shortAnimTime"
        android:slideEdge="right"/>
</transitionSet>

I was getting this error while doing Fragment Transaction on Fragment which does not exist in FragmentManager:

fragmentTransaction.hide(fragmentManager.findFragmentByTag("MyTag"));

Fragment with "MyTag" does not exist in FragmentManager, so FragmentTransaction tries to do job on null Fragment.

I tried to remove null from fragment manager.

This was the actual code:

broadcastFragment = null;
getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction().remove(broadcastFragment).commit();
