Items get doubled when I minimizing the app, so add list.clear()
like this:-
@OnLifecycleEvent(Lifecycle.Event.ON_STOP)
public void stopListening() {
itemsList.getSnapshots().removeChangeEventListener(this);
list.clear();
notifyDataSetChanged();
}

@Akash-Shukla123 I am just curious about it. 'list.clear()' should be on ON_STOP or ON_DESTROY

Items get doubled when I minimizing the app, so add list.clear()
like this:-
@OnLifecycleEvent(Lifecycle.Event.ON_STOP)
public void stopListening() {
itemsList.getSnapshots().removeChangeEventListener(this);
list.clear();
notifyDataSetChanged();
}

@janglapuk, @yagneshshinde This may work for you. Thanks a lot @Akash-Shukla123

I added

public void startListening() {
        if (list.size() > 0) list.clear(); // Add this
        if (!mSnapshots.isListening(this)) {
            mSnapshots.addChangeEventListener(this);
        }
    }

and also

@OnLifecycleEvent(Lifecycle.Event.ON_STOP)
public void stopListening() {
itemsList.getSnapshots().removeChangeEventListener(this);
list.clear(); // add this
notifyDataSetChanged();
}

but it still duplicated everytime the editText was cleared.
and then I added
backupList.clear() with list.clear()

 @OnLifecycleEvent(Lifecycle.Event.ON_STOP)
    public void stopListening() {
        mSnapshots.removeChangeEventListener(this);
        list.clear();
        backupList.clear(); //add this
        notifyDataSetChanged();
    }

@OnLifecycleEvent(Lifecycle.Event.ON_START)
    public void startListening() {
        if (list.size() > 0) list.clear(); 
        if (backupList.size() > 0) backupList.clear(); //add this
        if (!mSnapshots.isListening(this)) {
            mSnapshots.addChangeEventListener(this);
        }
    }

and all duplicate problem are gone. this worked for me

@100race THanks :-)
