Recently, Google has just added a new ability to FragmentManager which made the FragmentManager be able to act as a central store for fragment results. We can pass the data back and forth between Fragments easily.

Starting fragment.

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    // Use the Kotlin extension in the fragment-ktx artifact
    setResultListener("requestKey") { key, bundle ->
        // We use a String here, but any type that can be put in a Bundle is supported
        val result = bundle.getString("bundleKey")
        // Do something with the result...
    }
}

A Fragment that we want the result back.

button.setOnClickListener {
    val result = "result"
    // Use the Kotlin extension in the fragment-ktx artifact
    setResult("requestKey", bundleOf("bundleKey" to result))
}

The snippet is taken from Google's official documents. https://developer.android.com/training/basics/fragments/pass-data-between#kotlin

At the date of this answer written, this feature is still in alpha state. You can try it out using this dependency.
