Question

Answer 1

The above answer is correct. For PeriodicWork you should see:

ENQUEUED -> RUNNING -> ENQUEUED

However, there is a bug in alpha04 which causes PeriodicWork to not run on API >= 23. This will be fixed in alpha05. For more info take a look at https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/111195153.

IMPORTANT: As of a couple of days ago: alpha05 has shipped. This bug is fixed.
