WorkManager NetworkType with "OR" condition

I've just finished a codelab about WorkManager and I was wondering how to get a "OR" condition with it. After checking the setRequiredNetworkType I see it only accepts one argument of NetworkType type.

/**
 * Sets whether device should have a particular {@link NetworkType} for the
 * {@link WorkRequest} to run.  The default value is {@link NetworkType#NOT_REQUIRED}.
 *
 * @param networkType The type of network required for the work to run
 * @return The current {@link Builder}
 */
public @NonNull Builder setRequiredNetworkType(@NonNull NetworkType networkType) {
    this.mRequiredNetworkType = networkType;
    return this;
}

For example, I'd like that my task runs when NetworkType.UNMETERED or NetworkType.CONNECTED. is it possible ?

EDIT: Maybe that wasn't a good example, I wanted to know if it's possible have an OR condition to use for Constraint.

    "I wanted to know if it's possible have an OR condition to use for Constraint." -- not in a single piece of work. You might be able to rig up multiple pieces of work with separate constraints, and try some coordination such that only one will be used
