receiveMessageRequest.withMaxNumberOfMessages(10);

Just to be clear, the more practical use of this would be to add to your constructor like this:

ReceiveMessageRequest receiveMessageRequest = new ReceiveMessageRequest(queueUrl).withMaxNumberOfMessages(10);

Otherwise, you might as well just do:

receiveMessageRequest.setMaxNumberOfMessages(10);

That being said, changing this won't help the original problem.
