AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode doesn't work on physical device

Question

Changing night-light mode perfectly works in my emulator, but when i try to do the same on physical device(xiaomi) I get next exception:

E/ActivityInjector: get life cycle exception

Here is my code in activity and presenter where i change mode of my my application:

public class MoviesListActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements MovieListView {

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(@NonNull MenuItem item) {
        if (item.getItemId() == R.id.darkMode) {
            presenter.changeToDarkMode();
        }
        else if(item.getItemId() == R.id.lightMode) {
            presenter.changeToLightMode();
        }
        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.movie_list);

        presenter =  new MoviesListPresenter(this, getApplicationContext());

        if (presenter.getCurrentMode() == 0) {
            presenter.changeToLightMode();
        } else {
            presenter.changeToDarkMode();
        }
    }

    //Other code...
}

Presenter:

public class MoviesListPresenter {
 
    public void changeToLightMode() {
        currentMode = context.getSharedPreferences(Constants.MODE, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
        currentMode.edit().putInt(Constants.MODE, 0).apply();
        AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_NO);
    }

    public void changeToDarkMode() {
        currentMode = context.getSharedPreferences(Constants.MODE, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
        currentMode.edit().putInt(Constants.MODE, 1).apply();
        AppCompatDelegate.setDefaultNightMode(AppCompatDelegate.MODE_NIGHT_YES);
    }

    public int getCurrentMode() {
        currentMode = context.getSharedPreferences(Constants.MODE, Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
        return currentMode.getInt(Constants.MODE, 0);
    }
}

I will be thankful for any help!

This seem caused by calling Activity.recreate() in Xiaomi's firmware. This problem also happen to my library which recreate the activity to apply the language changing.

See https://github.com/akexorcist/Localization/issues/89

In my case, no app crashing and code working properly. So I skipped this problem.
