Hi Developers,
This is about FileObserver Bug. I am using FileObserver in my application
to keep track of newly created, deleted and modified files (images, video,
MS Word document and PDF files). I am successful in handling these events
in Lollipop but partially successful in Marshmallow.

thanks solved it. instead of creating in separate threads i did it in
single thread by creating an instance of fileobserver for each
directory and calling startwatching(); in a loop.
