kotlin.coroutines.intrinsics.CoroutineSingletons cannot be cast to retrofit2.Response

So I am using retrofit with coroutines, and declared a method in service:

@GET("notifications")
    suspend fun getNotificationsAsync(@QueryMap paramsHashMap:HashMap<String,String>): Response<JsonObject>

In repo:

suspend inline fun <reified T> notificationApiForPagingAsync(hashMapParams: HashMap<String,String>, onPrepare:()->Unit, onSuccess:(list:List<T>)->Unit, onError:(errorMessage:String)->Unit){
// crashing on below line
        val response=notificationService.getNotificationsAsync(hashMapParams)

        safeApiCallForPaging(response,onPrepare = onPrepare
            , onSuccess = {
                val listOfNotification=it.data?.fromJsonTo<List<Notification>>("notifications")?: emptyList()
                onSuccess(listOfNotification as @kotlin.ParameterName(name = "list") List<T>)
            }, onError = onError)
    }

And calling from DataSource like this:

coroutineScope.launch(Dispatchers.IO) {
                makeLoadAfter(params, callback) // notificationApiForPagingAsync of repo will be called from here
        }

And it gives the following error:

Things to consider here:

1. In the DataSource, I have created a separate scope, also tried with GlobalScope and viewModelScope but getting the same exception.
2. But if I call this API from ViewModel directly instead of DataSource, it works fine.
3. The current version of kotlin I am using is: 1.3.61

Let me know if more code is needed.
