Why do you want to do this? If you want to log an error that doesn't cause your app to crash, use Log.w(). I generally recommend if you have a fatal error, using Log.e() (though it is your responsibility to crash or whatever the fatal error behavior is after that).
If you don't want the behavior of Log.wtf() (which is partly that it can optional crash your app based on the setting), then don't use it. The only reason to use it that I can think of is because you want the behavior it provides. Is there some other reason you want to call that specific method?
