robolectric: Handler.postDelayed is run immediately

I am using Robolectric 3.0 (ToT).

In my activity in onCreate I make following call:

mHandler.postDelayed(mRunnable, 10 * 60 * 1000)

Then in my Robolectric test case I setup the activity and the runnable is immediately started (and as it happens, it calls finish()). How can I prevent this from happening?

I used ShadowLooper.pauseMainLooper(); which prevents firing of the Runnable, but that's not a good solution for me. I am sending broadcasts in the test and they don't get received when the main looper is paused. When I unpause it, both the intent is delivered to the broadcast receiver and the Runnable is run. How can I get broadcast receiver to run, but not the delayed Runnable.
