Android Question ANRs - Context.startForegroundService()

[fasilosman]

I received the following ANRs & Crash report, couldn't figure out what is the error. Please help me.
I have a service to generate notifications. I hope that service module have a problem. I tested in an emulator and a real device but it is not generated in debug mode.

Heading of the ANR Clustor -

"Context.startForegroundService() did not then call Service.startForeground()"

Firebase error report -

Not sure whether this is the cause of this error, however the starter service should never be started at boot.
