The crash.log comes from things that use the error_logger (http://erlang.org/doc/man/error_logger.html <http://erlang.org/doc/man/error_logger.html>). Typically, this is OTP applications crashing.

Try putting that badmatch inside of a gen_server's handle_cast/3 method and you should see lager's handling (and if you disable crash logging in lager you can see what the default error_logger does with it).
