Realm access from incorrect thread

Realm access from incorrect thread. Realm objects can only be accessed on the thread they were created.

This error message is quite self-explanatory.

As i see you're initializing realm by calling Realm.getDefaultInstance() on the UI thread.

The error is coming from newMessageReceived(), so i guess that method is called from a background thread.

Either obtain a Realm instance on the background thread and use that instead of the global instance:

@Override
public void run () {
    Realm backgroundRealm = Realm.getDefaultInstance();
    backgroundRealm.executeTransactionAsync(new Realm.Transaction() {
        @Override
        public void execute(Realm realm) {
            Message receivedMessage = realm.createObject(Message.class, message.id);
            receivedMessage.setBodyMessage(message.message);
            receivedMessage.setFrom(message.from);
            receivedMessage.setTo(message.to);
            receivedMessage.setDelivered(false);
            receivedMessage.setMine(false);
            receivedMessage.setDate(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());
        }
    });
}

Or, if you would like to stick to the global Realm instance for some reason, then make sure your code is executed on the UI thread by calling runOnUiThread() (or directly posting a Runnable to the message queue of the main thread through a Handler):

@Override
public void newMessageReceived(final ChatMessage message) {
    runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            realm.executeTransactionAsync(new Realm.Transaction() {
                @Override
                public void execute(Realm realm) {
                    Message receivedMessage = realm.createObject(Message.class,
                        message.id);
                    receivedMessage.setBodyMessage(message.message);
                    receivedMessage.setFrom(message.from);
                    receivedMessage.setTo(message.to);
                    receivedMessage.setDelivered(false);
                    receivedMessage.setMine(false);
                    receivedMessage.setDate(Calendar.getInstance().getTime());
                }
            });
        }
    });
}
