NullPointerException when using @oracle/react-native-pushiomanager on Android

[sorarco]

Issue Description:
We are encountering a NullPointerException when using the @oracle/react-native-pushiomanager module, version ^6.52.2, in our React Native application. This issue is specific to Android devices and may potentially be related to in-app messages.

The error stack trace is as follows:
java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'int android.graphics.Bitmap.getWidth()' on a null object reference at com.pushio.manager.r0.F(SourceFile:1) at com.pushio.manager.c0.o(SourceFile:1) at com.pushio.manager.c0.e(SourceFile:1) at com.pushio.manager.c0$a$a.run(Unknown Source:9) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:1012)

The error seems to be occurring during the handling of a bitmap operation inside the PushIOManager.

Steps to Reproduce:
Install @oracle/react-native-pushiomanager version ^6.52.2.
Set up in-app messaging for the Android platform.
Trigger a push notification or an in-app message on an Android device.
Observe the crash with the aforementioned stack trace.
Expected Behavior:
The push notification or in-app message should be displayed without causing a crash.

Actual Behavior:
The app crashes with a NullPointerException when trying to access a Bitmap object during push or in-app message handling.

Affected Environment:
Library Version: @oracle/react-native-pushiomanager@^6.52.2
Platform: Android
React Native Version: 0.73.8
Device Information: Occurs across multiple Android devices.
Additional Information: We suspect that the issue might be related to handling in-app messages, but further investigation is needed to confirm this.

Please advise if there are any known fixes or workarounds for this issue.
Could this be related to improper bitmap handling in in-app messages?
Any guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
