I want my app to read emails and send notifications while in the background while using workmanager, my work manager is stopping working after a couple of executions throwing NetworkOnMainThreadException on background tasks: I want to make a reliable app for sending notifications for newly received emails which means I need it to execute forever every 15 minutes. Do you know how can I avoid this problem?

WorkManager class:

class WorkerMan(private val mContext: Context, workerParameters: WorkerParameters) :
    Worker(mContext, workerParameters) {


    @SuppressLint("RestrictedApi", "CheckResult")

    @SuppressLint("RestrictedApi")
    override fun doWork(): Result {
        println("WorkManager: Work called")
        println("WorkMananager time: "   LocalTime.now())

            993,
            email,
            password
        )

        inbox.open(Folder.READ_ONLY)

CodePudding user response：

I fixed a problem by calling

FirebaseMessaging.getInstance().token.addOnSuccessListener

In MainActivity and passing token as an inputData for WorkManager.

data.put("token", token)

And retrieving it in WorkManager class by:

val token = inputData.getString("token")
