In the lifecycle of your app, when is the service being started? Set your logging level to info and look at the logcat output for "FirebaseInitProvider: FirebaseApp initialization successful". Does it appear when your app initializes? – Bob Snyder
Please post the complete call stack for the exception. Does your app include Firebase Crash Reporting (com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:9.0.2)? – Bob Snyder
@qbix please check updated question I added complete stack of error – Faris Jameel
How is the service started? Using` startService()` in an activity? – Bob Snyder
@qbix yes service start with startService() from activity on button click listener – Faris Jameel

I Found my problem solution by myself and the issue is I am getting this error because I am running my service in different process that define in manifest where I declare my service:

android:process = "......"

when I removed it and now my service is running on application main process and I am not getting any error and its works fine.
