Leakcanary - DecorView.mMSActions

I receive a notice from Leakcanary when debugging my app on a Samsung Galaxy S10 running on Android 12.

Indeed, Leakcanary notifies a leaked activity when toggle from light to night mode or vice versa.

Below is shown the Leakcanary report:

Please do you have any idea concerning the origin of this ?

First of all thank you for your reply.

Indeed, I have a class named MyBackupAgent:

@Singleton
class MyBackupAgent @Inject constructor(
    private val backupPrefsKey: String,
    private val backupHelper: MyBackupHelper
): BackupAgentHelper() {

    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        addHelper(backupPrefsKey, backupHelper)
    }

}

The MyBackupHelper class has the following implementation:

@Singleton
class MyBackupHelper @Inject constructor(
    private val context: Context,
    private val backupPreferencesKey: String
) : SharedPreferencesBackupHelper(context, backupPreferencesKey) {
     .....
}

The MyBackupAgent is injected into Activity with:

@Inject
lateinit var backupAgent: MyBackupAgent

The MyBackupAgent and MyBackupHelper are provided by the MyBaseModule class:

@InstallIn(SingletonComponent::class)
@Module
class MyBaseModule {

    @Singleton
    @Provides
    fun provideMyBackupHelper(@ApplicationContext context: Context, @BackUpPreferencesKey backupPrefsKey: String): MyBackupHelper {
        val backupHelper by lazy {
            MyBackupHelper(context, backupPrefsKey)
        }
        return backupHelper
    }

    @Singleton
    @Provides
    fun provideMyBackupAgent(@BackUpPreferencesKey backupPreferencesKey: String, backupHelper: MyBackupHelper): MyBackupAgent {
        val backupAgent by lazy {
            MyBackupAgent(backupPreferencesKey, backupHelper)
        }
        return backupAgent
    }

}
