I'm not sure that the low level error is related to this code. Are you calling DoEvents or showing a modal dialog (Msgbox) somewhere in your code?

Yes modal or doevents elsewhere, there is only 1 report of this error. Hopefully that is the only one.

Previously, i had thousands of crash report and only on Android 9 because i was not calling Service.StartForeground(1, CreateNotification("...")) when using Service.AutomaticForegroundMode = Service.AUTOMATIC_FOREGROUND_NEVER. So i made adjustment and so far only that 1 report is showing.

This error:
android.os.MessageQueue.nativePollOnce

Is mostly related to DoEvents or modal dialogs.
