Handler in addValueEventListener running continuously

Im making a Uber clone app and whenever the driver receives a request he can accept it or decline it, but I want to add a feature where if the driver doesn't accept or decline the request within 8 second I want to decline it automatically.

Let me explain my code, I'm creating a DatabaseReference checkJobRequest that will point to the current driverId and I'm actively listening if a child called dataSnapshot.hasChild("jobRequest") appears, if it does appear that means there is a request for the driver so I'm going to create another listener and check the status of that request String valueOfStatus = (String) snapshot.child("requestStatus").getValue(); now if the status is "waiting" I'm going to display a dialog where I ask the driver to accept it or decline it.

Now the problem is when I try to implement a handler that is going to decline the request automatically after 8 seconds, the handler never stops running because its inside the checkJobRequest.addValueEventListener, and this listener is always running in the background checking for a request. I tried killing the handler handler.removeCallbacksAndMessages(null); but since the listener runs again and again it will start it again and again like a loop.

can someone suggest a workaround this problem?

private void jobRequest(){
    // clicked=false;
    String driverId = FirebaseAuth.getInstance().getCurrentUser().getUid();
    DatabaseReference checkJobRequest = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("Users").child("Drivers").child(driverId);
    checkJobRequest.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
        @Override
        public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {
            if(dataSnapshot.hasChild("jobRequest") && !isCurrentlyWorking){
                DatabaseReference checkStatusValue =FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("Users").child("Drivers").child(driverId).child("jobRequest");
                checkStatusValue.addValueEventListener(new ValueEventListener() {
                    @Override
                    public void onDataChange(@NonNull DataSnapshot snapshot) {
                        if(snapshot.hasChild("requestStatus")) {
                            String valueOfStatus = (String) snapshot.child("requestStatus").getValue();
                            String waiting = "waiting";
                            if (valueOfStatus.equals(waiting))
