Not sure if this has been asked before but upon looking at the source code of CoroutineWorker#startWork, it seems it doesn't take CancellationException into account. It catches Throwable and sets the exception on the future.

@Suppress("DEPRECATION")
    final override fun startWork(): ListenableFuture<Result> {

        val coroutineScope = CoroutineScope(coroutineContext + job)
        coroutineScope.launch {
            try {
                val result = doWork()
                future.set(result)
            } catch (t: Throwable) {
                future.setException(t)
            }
        }

        return future
    }

Should implementations of doWork() have to handle CancellationException themselves?
