Unable to start receiver com.google.firebase.iid.FirebaseInstanceIdInternalReceiver

Question

My app integrates FCM to receive push notifications and it works okay. However, I am facing issue that on installation it crashes randomly. It is very random and occurring on OS 6.0+ devices till latest but randomly occurs.

Code wise, in service class only show notification code is written and added service in manifest.

I am getting below exception on app loads

Fatal Exception: java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start receiver com.google.firebase.iid.FirebaseInstanceIdInternalReceiver: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Not allowed to start service Intent { act=com.google.firebase.INSTANCE_ID_EVENT pkg=com.xx.xx cmp=com.xx.xx/com.google.firebase.iid.FirebaseInstanceIdService (has extras) }: app is in background uid UidRecord{997e286 u0a92 RCVR idle procs:1 seq(0,0,0)}
