Answer 1

Let your jobIntentService extend MyJobIntentService

This will handle multiple dequeueWork call going to remoteProcess, even if the remoteProcess throws security exception for poping already removed work off the stack

package android.support.v4.app;

import timber.log.Timber;

public abstract class MyJobIntentService extends JobIntentService {   

    @Override

    GenericWorkItem dequeueWork() { 
        try {
            return super.dequeueWork();
        } catch (SecurityException ignored) {
            Timber.e(ignored);
        }    
        return null;
    }
}

Note: Important to create the package "android.support.v4.app" As GenericWorkItem class is inside this package to get access.
