What coroutine scope do you use to launch coroutines in classes that don’t necessarily have a lifecycle? I’m creating a NotificationManager class in an Android application, and I need to use coroutines for taking some database related tasks off the main thread. This class will be used as a singleton in the project via dependency injection.

• Should I implement the Coroutine Scope interface in it? There will be no lifecycle callback to cancel the running coroutines in this scope, though
• Should I just use GlobalScope if I don’t have a way to cleanup resources anyway?

My apologies, I’ll post there.

I prefer to pass coroutine scope to constructor of this class for such cases and just use some application level scope, even if this scope is never cancelled practically

If you don't care about keeping this semantics you can of course use GlobalScope, but I believe that it make it less flexible
