Hi android enthusiast,

I hope the lockdown is not taking it's on you all, we will surely survive this pandemic

I implemented firenase email/password authemtication in my app which is working well until I migrated my app androidx during test
on clicking on the login button the app crashes and shows the following error message in the logcat

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Not allowed to start service Intent { cmp=com.google.android.apps.messaging/.shared.datamodel.action.execution.ActionExecutorImpl$EmptyService }: app is in background uid UidRecord{dceaaa5 u0a102 CEM idle change:cached procs:1 seq(0,0,0)}

See below the ObClickListener for the login button

private void loginBronze() {
        //We get the email and password from the text boxes
        final String email = bronzeEmail.getText().toString().trim();
        String password = bronzePassword.getText().toString().trim();

        //We verify that the text boxes are not empty
        if (TextUtils.isEmpty(email)) {//(precio.equals(""))
            Toast.makeText(this, "You must enter an email", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            return;
        }

        if (TextUtils.isEmpty(password)) {
            Toast.makeText(this, "Password is missing", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            return;
        }


        progressDialog.setMessage("Performing online consultation ...");
        progressDialog.show();

        //loguear usuario
        firebaseAuth.signInWithEmailAndPassword(email, password)
                .addOnCompleteListener((Executor) this, new OnCompleteListener<AuthResult>() {
                    @Override
                    public void onComplete(@NonNull Task<AuthResult> task) {
                        //checking if success
                        if (task.isSuccessful()) {
                            int pos = email.indexOf("@");
                            String user = email.substring(0, pos);
                            Toast.makeText(BronzeActivationPage.this, "Bienvenido: " + bronzeEmail.getText(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                            Intent intencion = new Intent(getApplication(), BronzePackageHome.class);
                            intencion.putExtra(BronzePackageHome.user, user);
                            startActivity(intencion);


                        } else {
                            if (task.getException() instanceof FirebaseAuthUserCollisionException) {//si se presenta una colisión
                                Toast.makeText(BronzeActivationPage.this, "That user already exists ", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
                            } else {
                                Toast.makeText(BronzeActivationPage.this, "Could not login ", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                            }
                        }
                        progressDialog.dismiss();
                    }
                });
