Android low level library crash when the BLE device disconnects unexpectedly

[cmillauriaux]

Describe the bug
When I connect my Flutter application to a BLE object on battery, when the object runs out of battery and shuts down unexpectedly, the application crashes with a Java error stack

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Connect to one device using connectTo()
2. subscribe to a protected characteristic
3. BLE peripheral shutdown because it runs out of battery
4. Observe a failure with exception

io.reactivex.exceptions.UndeliverableException: The exception could not be delivered to the consumer because it has already canceled/disposed the flow or the exception has nowhere to go to begin with.
