Sometimes the post request fails `SSLHandshakeException: Handshake failed`

I am getting the error on latest android version 9.0

The error is thrown from google lib at startHandshake

The code that i am using to make post request is as follows :

localHttpsURLConnection = (HttpsURLConnection) new URL(url).openConnection();
                        localHttpsURLConnection.setReadTimeout(15000);
                        localHttpsURLConnection.setConnectTimeout(15000);
                        localHttpsURLConnection.setRequestMethod("POST");
                        localHttpsURLConnection.setDoInput(true);
                        localHttpsURLConnection.setDoOutput(true);
                        localHttpsURLConnection.setUseCaches(false);
                        localHttpsURLConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
                        localHttpsURLConnection.setRequestProperty("charset", "utf-8");
                        String str2 = getMeta();
                        localHttpsURLConnection.setRequestProperty("meta" + str2, str2);
                        localHttpsURLConnection.connect();

This works fine sometimes but sometimes gives an error with stacktrace as follows :

This mainly highlights the point
