Custom JobIntentService onHandleWork not called

Question

I recently was updating an app that I work on to handle notifications from push using a JobIntentService instead of a regular IntentService because

Answer 1

I ran into this issue trying to enqueue the JobIntentService using JobScheduler. While JobScheduler has its own enqueueWork() method, it doesn't work with JobIntentService. The service will start but onHandleWork() is never called.

It started working again when I used the static enqueueWork() method that is on the JobIntentService - eg:

MyJobIntentService.enqueueWork(context, ...)

None of this was obvious from reading Android's javadoc.
