Too many registered receivers, total of 1000, causes the application to crash

Hello!
We are using the package in flutter android app for sending big amounts of data.

Our analytics service reports periodic crash among users which we cannot reproduce:

Here’s the configuration:

<service 
      android:name="com.pravera.flutter_foreground_task.service.ForegroundService"
      android:foregroundServiceType="dataSync"
      android:exported="false" />

And our foreground service code:

  bool _isInitialized = false;

  void init() {
    if (_isInitialized) return;

    FlutterForegroundTask.init(
      androidNotificationOptions: AndroidNotificationOptions(
        channelId: 'foreground_service',
        channelName: 'Channel name',
        channelDescription: 'Channel description',
        onlyAlertOnce: true,
        channelImportance: NotificationChannelImportance.DEFAULT,
      ),
      iosNotificationOptions: const IOSNotificationOptions(
        showNotification: false,
      ),
      foregroundTaskOptions: ForegroundTaskOptions(
        eventAction: ForegroundTaskEventAction.once(),
        autoRunOnBoot: true,
        allowWifiLock: true,
      ),
    );
    FlutterForegroundTask.addTaskDataCallback(taskDataCallback);

    _isInitialized = true;
  }

  Future<void> startService() async {
    final isRunning = await FlutterForegroundTask.isRunningService;
    if (isRunning) return;

    await FlutterForegroundTask.startService(
      serviceId: 1000,
      notificationTitle: 'Notification Title',
      notificationText: 'Notification Text',
      callback: startCallback,
    );
  }

  Future<void> stopService() async {
    await FlutterForegroundTask.stopService();
  }

Our current flutter_foreground_task version is 9.1.0, but the problem was detected on earlier (8.17.0) version as well.
