Fix dispatching when app (or thread) terminated

Make sure to **not** notify handlers if the captured thread doesn't exist anymore, which would potentially result in dispatching to the wrong thread (ie. nullptr == current thread). This also applies when the app is shutting down and the even loop is not anymore available. In both cases, we should not trigger any error and skip notifications.
