What is workmanager?

• WorkManager is a part of the Android Jetpack library that makes it easy to schedule and manage background tasks in Android. It is a flexible and backward-compatible library that can handle tasks even if the app is in the background or if the device is rebooted.
• WorkManager provides a way to handle task cancellation and retries. It allows developers to set a maximum number of retries and a back-off policy for tasks that fail. This means that if a task fails to execute, WorkManager will automatically retry it after a certain time, depending on the backoff policy set.
• WorkManager allows developers to schedule one-off or periodic tasks and set their priorities and network constraints. It also provides a way to chain multiple tasks together and handle their dependencies. This means that if one task depends on the completion of another task, WorkManager will automatically execute them in the correct order.
