Can't simulate background fetch event multiple times - just once

See original GitHub issue

Your Environment

Plugin version: 2.4.3
Platform: Android
OS version: 7, 8
React Native version (react-native -v): 0.52.1
Plugin config Inside App.js

async componentDidMount() {
    BackgroundFetch.configure({
      enableHeadless: true,
      minimumFetchInterval: 15, // <-- minutes (15 is minimum allowed)
      stopOnTerminate: false,   // <-- Android-only,
      startOnBoot: true         // <-- Android-only
    }, async () => {console.log("BF: APP.JS");
      await someAsyncFunction();
      BackgroundFetch.finish(BackgroundFetch.FETCH_RESULT_NEW_DATA);
    }, (error) => {
      console.log("RNBackgroundFetch failed to start");
    });

Expected Behavior

To simulate background fetch event on device with command: adb shell cmd jobscheduler run -f com.scoutsssag.app 999 multiple times

Actual Behavior

I run adb shell cmd jobscheduler run -f com.scoutsssag.app 999 once and after 1min I try again nothing happens. Is this normal or should be possible?

This is log when I simulate first time:

$ adb logcat *:S ReactNative:V ReactNativeJS:V TSBackgroundFetch:V
--------- beginning of crash
--------- beginning of system
--------- beginning of main

09-19 11:12:13.821 27409 27409 D TSBackgroundFetch: - Background Fetch event received

When I execute same command again nothing in logs.

In this logs you can see at 11:34:43 I get onStopJob and then I was able to execute simulate command again but I got only received log my code is not executed.

Here are logs I left the phone still not touching app. You can see that in a first background fetch it entered function and executed code “TOTAL: 30” but see logs after it, I don’t understand what could be cause of this:

I noticed that I can simulate call again when I receive onStopJob in log. But again then it doesn’t complete function like first time.
