Workmanager does not execute future in callback

[wolfc01]

In the example I made the change:

      case simplePeriodicTask:
        print("$simplePeriodicTask was executed");
        Future.delayed(const Duration(milliseconds: 5500), () {
          print('Hello, world');
        });
        break;

But the "hello world" was not printed. Is this intended? If so, please explain the mechanism behind prohibiting the completion of the future.

Could it be same problem/solution as here -> #171 (comment)?

You are not awaiting the delayed future. This might lead to the task already being finished before the future is resolved.

await / async is working on my side. Probably await is missing in this code.

Refer to the example for a dispatcher with await/async usage. https://github.com/fluttercommunity/flutter_workmanager/blob/main/example/lib/main.dart#L19
