Avoid IllegalStateException when doing popBackStackImmediate during onResume in fragment

Question

I have a single Activity with fragments and two simple methods inside the activity for managing fragments: pushFragmentImmediate() and popFragmentImmediate().

public void pushFragmentImmediate(Fragment fragment) {
    FragmentTransaction transaction = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
    transaction.replace(R.id.fragment_container, fragment)
            .addToBackStack(null)
            .commitNow();
}

public void popFragmentImmediate() {
    getSupportFragmentManager().popBackStackImmediate();
}

These transactions must execute immediately because of legacy code which depend on the back stack being up to date at all times.

Now I have a Fragment which pops off during onResume if some condition is satisfied:

@Override
public void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    if (condition) {
        ((Main) getActivity()).popFragment();
    }
}

This gives an error. Can this error be avoided without changing popStackImmediate() to popBackStack()? Or can I move popBackStackImmediate() to some other phase when it will not return an error? Or am I thinking about this in the wrong way?
