Is it possible to send a synchronous request in the Firebase?

Question

I\'m using Firebase Android SDK and became interested in sending synchronous request instead of asynchronous. According to the documentation, in any request cal

I made a simple class to call tasks synchronously in Android.
Note that this is similar to Javascript's async await function.
Check my gist.

TasksManager.class

public class TasksManager {

    ...

    public ExecutorService getExecutor() {
        if (mDefaultExecutor == null || mDefaultExecutor.isShutdown() || mDefaultExecutor.isTerminated()) {
            // Create a new ThreadPoolExecutor with 2 threads for each processor on the
            // device and a 60 second keep-alive time.
            int numCores = Runtime.getRuntime().availableProcessors();
            ThreadPoolExecutor executor = new ThreadPoolExecutor(
                    numCores * 2,
                    numCores * 2,
                    60L,
                    TimeUnit.SECONDS,
                    new LinkedBlockingQueue<>()
            );
            mDefaultExecutor = executor;
        }
        return mDefaultExecutor;
    }

    public static  Task call(@NonNull Callable callable) {
        return Tasks.call(getInstance().getExecutor(), callable);
    }
}

Here's a sample code to use it.

TasksManager.call(() -> {
    Tasks.await(AuthManager.signInAnonymously());

    // You can use multiple Tasks.await method here.
    // Tasks.await(getUserTask());
    // Tasks.await(getProfileTask());
    // Tasks.await(moreAwesomeTask());
    // ...

    startMainActivity();
    return null;
}).addOnFailureListener(e -> {
    Log.w(TAG, "signInAnonymously:ERROR", e);
});
