Starting Appium Server Programmatically on Linux: Error says ANDROID_HOME is not set even though it is

Question

I am trying to start Appium programmatically but I keep getting this error:

org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Unable to create a new remote session. Please check the server log for more details. Original error: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: Neither ANDROID_HOME nor ANDROID_SDK_ROOT environment variable was exported. Read https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/variables for more details

However, if I run echo $ANDROID_HOME it returns the correct path, and in addition to this, I have explicitly specified the environment variables in my AppiumServiceBuilder object. Here is the code that kicks off my Appium server:

import Pages.LoginPage;
import io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver;
import io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver;
import io.appium.java_client.remote.MobileCapabilityType;

public class BaseTest {

    AppiumDriver driver;
    protected Properties props;
    InputStream inputStream;
    LoginPage loginPage;
    static Logger log = LogManager.getLogger(BaseTest.class.getName());
    private static AppiumDriverLocalService server;
    private static int OS = 2; // 1 = Windows, 2 = Ubuntu

    

    @BeforeSuite
    public void beforeSuite(){
        server = getAppiumServer();
        if(!server.isRunning()){
            log.info("Starting Appium Server");
            server.start();
        }
    }

        inputStream = getClass().getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(propFileName);
        props.load(inputStream);

        //start emulator automatically

        caps.setCapability("avdLaunchTimeout", 180000); // set timeout to allow time for emulator to launch
        caps.setCapability("appPackage", props.getProperty("androidAppPackage"));
        caps.setCapability("appActivity", props.getProperty("androidAppActivity"));
        String appUrl = System.getProperty("user.dir") + File.separator + "src" + File.separator +
                "main" + File.separator + "resources" + File.separator + props.getProperty("androidApkName");
        caps.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP, appUrl);

        URL as = new URL(props.getProperty("appiumUrl"));
        driver = new AndroidDriver(as, caps);
        context.setAttribute("WebDriver", driver);
        loginPage = new LoginPage(driver);
    }

    @BeforeMethod
    public void beforeMethod(){
        // Record the screen during the test
        ((CanRecordScreen) driver).startRecordingScreen();
    }

    @AfterMethod
    public void afterMethod(ITestResult result) throws IOException {
        String media = ((CanRecordScreen) driver).stopRecordingScreen(); // Returns base64 encoded screen recording

        if(!result.isSuccess()){ // This will only save the screen recording if the test fails
            String dir = "videos" + File.separator + result.getTestClass().getRealClass().getName()
                    + File.separator + result.getMethod().getMethodName();

            File videoDir = new File(dir);
            if(!videoDir.exists()){
                videoDir.mkdirs();
            }
            FileOutputStream stream = new FileOutputStream(videoDir + File.separator +
                    Calendar.getInstance().getTime().toString().replace(":", "-") + ".mp4");
            stream.write(Base64.decodeBase64(media));
        }
    }

    @AfterTest
    public void afterTest() throws IOException {
        driver.quit();
        if(inputStream != null){
            inputStream.close();
        }
    }

    @AfterSuite
    public void afterSuite(){
        log.info("Stopping Appium Server");
        server.stop();
    }

    public AppiumDriver getDriver() {
        return driver;
    }

    public AppiumDriverLocalService getAppiumServer(){
        log.info("Building Appium Server");
        switch(OS){
            case 1:
                return AppiumDriverLocalService.buildDefaultService();
            case 2:
                HashMap<String, String> environment = new HashMap<>();
                environment.put("PATH", "/home/wade/.yarn/bin:/home/wade/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/.bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/snap/bin:/home/wade/Android/Sdk:/home/wade/Android/Sdk/tools:/home/wade/Android/Sdk/platform-tools:/home/wade/Android/Sdk/tools/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-15.0.2" + System.getenv("PATH"));
                environment.put("ANDROID_HOME", "/home/wade/Android/Sdk");
                environment.put("JAVA_HOME", "/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-15.0.2");
                return AppiumDriverLocalService.buildService(new AppiumServiceBuilder().
                        usingDriverExecutable(new File("/usr/bin/node")).
                        withAppiumJS(new File("/usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/build/lib/main.js")).
                        usingPort(4723).
                        withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.SESSION_OVERRIDE).
                        withEnvironment(environment));
            default:
                return null;
        }
    }

}

So I am really confused as to why this error is still happening.

P.S. I am using IntelliJ IDEA and my OS is Ubuntu 22.04.1.

This is what the relevant section in my bashrc file looks like:

export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Android/Sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-15.0.2
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME
export JAVA_HOME
export JRE_HOME
export PATH 

What am I missing?
