I have seen similar SO posts like this or this, but those were caused by starting some foreground service manually.

As you can see in the stack trace, I'm not really starting any services myself. In fact, I don't even have startForegroundService() call in my codebase. It looks like Chromecast is doing the service implementation, but I don't know where to start to debug this. Someone reported an issue in the Chromecast github, but no one has replied.

If anyone experienced similar issue, please help me debug this (or reproduce the issue).

Thank you.
