Here, App using the latest gradle as below implementation 'androidx.core:core:1.1.0-alpha03'
I have compared crashing fragment with other fragment code and found the difference as below: Crashing fragment has method setRetainInstance(true); inside onCreateView() as shown in below snippet.

@Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
 setRetainInstance(true);
}

I come across the link which says not to use setRetainInstance : setRetainInstance - This can only be used with fragments not in the back stack I removed the setRetainInstance(true) for crashing fragmnet; It's working now.

HOW TO REPLICATE THIS ISSUE:
MainActivity --> HomeFragment --> FirstFragment(crashing fragment) --> HomeFragment
MainActivity loads with HomeFragment which replaced by FirstFragment and then going back to HomeFragment. Then moving my app to background and crash happens with below exception.

 java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failure saving state: active FirstFragment{fd50037 (4a8b618e-a0a8-45d0-aa37-ba08393b8f68) id=0x7f08009c} was removed from the FragmentManager
