Crash when initializing Dexter 3.0.0 with a non-activity context

[6bangs]

The transparent activity is no longer started with FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK, which results in the following crash:

android.util.AndroidRuntimeException: Calling startActivity() from outside of an Activity  context requires the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag. Is this really what you want?

I know 3.0.0 isn't released yet; just wanted to bring it to your attention in case it wasn't known.

Hi @6bangs thanks for the feedback!!

I completely forgot that we've deprecated the method to initialize Dexter using the application context. I'm going to fix it before the release.

Thanks!
