Same for me, seems we dont have any method for know if PIP is disactivated. When desactivate the PIP in Application’s params, the crash occurs, cause getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_PICTURE_IN_PICTURE) still returns true

Is this still an issue after the API 27 release? Is it only occurring on the API 26 image?

Side note, if a device does not support PIP, you can check with the package manager.

PackageManager packageManager = getApplicationContext().getPackageManager();
boolean supportsPIP = 
        packageManager.hasSystemFeature(PackageManager.FEATURE_PICTURE_IN_PICTURE);
if( supportsPIP ) {
    enterPIP();
}
