If you have a 9.0 device, why are you using adb shell am broadcat?? Do you know what API level Android 9.0 is?

Simulate a background-fetch event on a device (insert <your.application.id>) (only works for sdk 24+):
$ adb shell cmd jobscheduler run -f <your.application.id> 999
For devices with sdk <21, simulate a “Headless JS” event with (insert <your.application.id>)
$ adb shell am broadcast -a <your.application.id>.event.BACKGROUND_FETCH

Simulate a background-fetch event on a device (insert <your.application.id>) (only works for sdk 24+):

and For devices with sdk <21, simulate a “Headless JS” event with (insert <your.application.id>)

What about sdk > 21 but < 24? lol
