Test Plan:

Got crash stack from GPS, so just make sure brave news is displaying

[SergeyZhukovsky]

a minor suggestion, that if, could be combined with if (mNtpAdapter == null)

[tapanmodh]

If we combined with if (mNtpAdapter == null) then we have to change else with else if(mNtpAdapter!=null) so I think it's fine to keep as it is. wdyt?

[SergeyZhukovsky]

yes, you are right, my bad, let's keep as is.
