PushyNetworkException thrown on Pushy.Register

Question

I am trying to get pushy from pushy.me to work with Xamarin. I have created a Bindings Library for Pushy and it builds fine. On Pushy.Register(context) I get an exception thrown. I can't figure out what is causing the exception has anyone else tried to implement this into xamarin and were successful or have any ideas what could be going wrong.

The eception is thrown on

JNIEnv.GetString(JNIEnv.CallStaticObjectMethod(class_ref,id_register_Landroid_content_Context_, __args),JniHandleOwnership.TransferLocalRef);

Thanks

android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException

Network operations on Android need to be performed off the main UI thread, the easiest way is use a Task to push it onto a thread in the default threadpool:

await Task.Run(() =>
{
    Pushy.Register(context);
});

Task.Run: Queues the specified work to run on the ThreadPool and returns a task handle for that work.
