Assuming you are talking about CoroutineWorker. If the coroutine is cancelled, then a CancellationException will be thrown from suspending methods.

override suspend fun doWork(): Result {
    try {
        doStuffInSuspendMethod()
        return Result.success()
    } catch (ce: CancellationException) {
        handleCancellationSpecifically()
        throw ce
    }
}

I rarely need to do anything in response to cancellation specifically and usually just use a finally block.

There's also isActive property on CoroutineScope and CoroutineContext .
