Seems like it happens on API 21-22 too.

This is expected. You are calling: enqueueUniquePeriodicWork() with an ExistingPeriodicWorkPolicy.REPLACE. This will cancel running work, and kick off new instances of all Workers.

I just ran the sample again and now the behaviour is different for some weird reason. I forgot to mention that I only used REPLACE to test this properly. Because it also happens with KEEP.

And shouldn't the behaviour be consistent across all Android versions?

Marked as fixed.
