Some thoughts:

* the context can't be null; we'd NPE if it was.
* is it possible we can't cast the ContentProviderClient if it's too early?
* reading the code, it really looks like we're just not getting a CPC back from Android.  WTF?
* the health authority is per-Android package, so it's hard to imagine cross-package issues here.
