ProcessLifecycleOwner is not giving lifecycle callback in Application class

Question

I am using ProcessLifecycleOwner.get().lifecycle.addObserver(this) in my Application class, and I expected to get onStateChanged() callback to be called, however I have added a provider in my manifest for disabling the standard automated initialisation of WorkManager.

 <provider
  android:name="androidx.startup.InitializationProvider"
  android:authorities="${applicationId}.androidx-startup"
  tools:node="remove">
 </provider>

From couple of other solutions listed in SO, I have modified the provider as follows

And I can see the first onStateChanged() callback with event ON_CREATE and immediately the app crashes. and the crash log is given below

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: WorkManager is already initialized. Did you try to initialize it manually without disabling WorkManagerInitializer

Does anyone has worked on such thing, suggest any working approaches ?

Answer 1

I found the solution, I have created another package androix/lifecycle and added a new class and initialised the ProcessLifeCycleOwner as follows

fun initialize(context: Application): LifecycleOwner {
        LifecycleDispatcher.init(context)
        ProcessLifecycleOwner.init(context)
        return ProcessLifecycleOwner.get()
    }

And that worked perfect
