JobCreator get call with a tag on application start and without JobRequestBuilder

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

My application starts a periodic job under certain circumstances, like the user click on a periodic time to sync data from the UI. I found an issue, where the JobCreator is called with a tag and start a periodic job, but it shouldn’t.

//In the Application Class
JobManager.create(this).addJobCreator(MyJobCreator())

//My Creator
class MyJobCreator : JobCreator {
  override fun create(tag: String): Job? {
    Timber.d(">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>$tag") // TAG FOUND BUT SHOULDN'T
    return when (tag) {
        Constants.MY_JOB_TAG -> {
            Timber.d(">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> MY JOB tag found!! WHY?????")
            MyJobService()
        }
        else -> null
    }
 }
}

The JobRequest.Builder(Constants.MY_JOB_TAG) is not called from the app, only when the user chose to start a schedule job.

I think that the issue comes from the Application class, where MyJobCreator is added.

Thx
