Test cannot perform click and not recording intents

I have two problems while creating my tests:

1 - When trying to test that triggering the onClick event of my activity button opens a new activity, I see that the activity is opened in my emulator/device. However, the test fails giving the trace that cannot perform the onclick.

My code:

@OnClick(R.id.my_activity_next_activity_button)
public void onNextActivityButtonClick(){
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, StreamingActivity.class);
    startActivity(intent);
}

Test:

@RunWith(AndroidJUnit4.class)
public class MyActivityTest{

   @Rule
    public IntentsTestRule<MyActivity> rule = new IntentsTestRule<>(MyActivity.class);

    @Test
    public void testButtonOnClickShouldOpenNewActivity(){

        onView(withId(R.id.my_activity_next_activity_button)).perform(click());
        Intents.intended(IntentMatchers.hasComponent(NewActivity.class.getName()));

    }
} 

I also tried to use InstrumentationTestCase but with same results:

   @Test
    public void testPickUpButtonShouldEmitPickUpIntentAndChangeStateToInitial(){

        Instrumentation.ActivityMonitor activityMonitor = new Instrumentation.ActivityMonitor(StreamingActivity.class.getName(), null, false);
        getInstrumentation().addMonitor(activityMonitor);

        onView(withId(R.id.activity_incoming_call_button_pick_up)).perform(click());

        Activity activity = activityMonitor.waitForActivityWithTimeout(5000);

        assertNotNull(activity);

    }

The traces I get:

2 - Problem with testing intents I send:

When trying to test that I'm sending an intent (no matter if it is for starting an activity or sending one via LocalBroadcast), I cannot find the way that my test records it:

Activity:

 @OnClick(R.id.my_activity_button_send_intent)
 public void onIntentButtonClick(){
    LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).sendBroadcast(new Intent(Constants.INTENT_DEFAULT));
 }

Test:

    @Test
    public void testOnButtonClickShouldSendIntent(){
        onView(withId(R.id.my_activity_button_send_intent)).perform(click());
        Intents.intended(IntentMatchers.hasComponent(Constants.INTENT_DEFAULT));
    }

And trace:

android.support.test.espresso.base.DefaultFailureHandler$AssertionFailedWithCauseError: Wanted to match 1 intents. Actually matched 0 intents.

IntentMatcher: has component: has component with: class name: is "com.testproject.disframus:INTENT_DEFAULT" package name: an instance of java.lang.String short class name: an instance of java.lang.String

Matched intents:[]

Recorded intents:[]

Can you guide me on what I'm doing wrong?
