Paypal DEV - The recurring payment for X is canceled

Question

I am creating a subscription on paypal with REST API: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/subscriptions/v1/#subscriptions_create

After i pay with my sandbox account, when i retrieve the subscription from my website it shows that the status is expired.

In the developer testing tools i am getting two Notifications : One is - payment received and another is -profile cancelled.

What are possible reason for this? Others are working fine. Subscription payment is also working but problem is i am getting EXPIRED status.

I am using PHP for creating pricing plan.
