The behavior is very similar to what is described here, but only happens when the googlequicksearchbox is in the background. I'm with Google APP 5.2.33.19.arm.
I created the SpeechRecognizer by calling
SpeechRecognizer.createSpeechRecognizer(myContext, new ComponentName("com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox", "com.google.android.voicesearch.serviceapi.GoogleRecognitionService"))
I got the following error message in Android Studio Logcat

GoogleSpeechRecognition﹕ onError No match
Here is the entire messages from the speech recognizer. There is also an ERROR_CLIENT near finish. Another thing is there is no onRmsChanged call when this happens. Usually, there are tons of this call during a normal recognition request.
