Evernote Android-Job broadcast receiver not called

Question

I am using Evernote Android-Job library to schedule jobs.

In their documentation they state that the JobManager needs to be instantiated in the onCreate of the Application and they provide a workaround in case that's not possible relevant documentation section

The problem that I am facing is that method addJobCreator of the Broadcast receiver is never called even though the broadcast receiver is in the manifest. And ironically the only time I can get this method to be called is when i use JobManager.create(this) where this is an Activity context.

What am I doing wrong?

That's actually expected and works properly. The broadcast receiver needs to be called before any job can run. The library may call JobManager.create() for you and then call your receiver. That's early enough so that you can add your JobCreator.

At what point does it happen? Should I explicitly call JobManager.create()? – Andrew Efremov Oct 23 '17 at 13:27
