In onCreate, do a async instead of a launch. Remember the returned Deferred<T>.
Then in the onResume, do an await() on that Deferred<T>.

This is a dirty/statefull way of doing this.
Another cleaner (in my opinion) way is to use a Channel or a Mutex (Mutex from Coroutines)

Thanks @streetsofboston, those are some good pointers! I might go with the async to get through a deadline but will investigate the alternatives more when I have time!

Update: I went with a channel and it works great!
