realm-java: RealmResults not updating real time after deletion

After running the following code I would have expected the realmList AND realmResults to be the same size after deleting a Realm object contained by both.

RealmList<Notification> realmList = getNotifications();
if (realmList != null && !realmList.isEmpty())
{
    RealmQuery<Notification> query = realmList.where()
            .notEqualTo("notificationType", Notification.TYPE_BOARD_MESSAGE)
            .notEqualTo("notificationType", Notification.TYPE_DIRECT_MESSAGE);

    RealmResults<Notification> realmResults = query.findAllSorted(Notification.PARAM_CREATED_AT, Sort.DESCENDING);

    Log.d("REALM_TEST", "realmList before has " + realmList.size() + " items");
    Log.d("REALM_TEST", "realmResults before has " + realmResults.size() + " items");

    Notification firstNotification = realmList.first();
    realm.beginTransaction();
    firstNotification.deleteFromRealm();
    realm.commitTransaction();

    Log.d("REALM_TEST", "realmList after has " + realmList.size() + " items");
    Log.d("REALM_TEST", "realmResults after has " + realmResults.size() + " items");
}

Output D/REALM_TEST: realmList before has 5 items D/REALM_TEST: realmResults before has 5 items D/REALM_TEST: realmList after has 4 items D/REALM_TEST: realmResults after has 5 items

The realmList updates correctly, removing the object real time. The realmResults however changes the object to “Invalid object” but does not remove it from the list. This results in unexpected behavior, especially when looping over the results.

Is there a better way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance for any help on this.
