Not getting the CalledFromWrongThreadException when accessing data from the background thread

During Build a Weather app course (->Hooking Up the Model to the View->Weather Icon video), When setDrawable() method was called from a background thread in the video there was a calledFromWrongThredException which was later handled by runOnUI(); but I am not getting the exception and when I run the app it is updating the UI from the background thread.

Has something changed in Android thread implementation (so that now this is also possible now) or am I doing something wrong? Here is my code:

String forecastURL = "https://api.darksky.net/forecast/" + API_KEY + "/" + latitude + "," + longitude;
        if(isNetworkAvailable()) {
            OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();

            Request request = new Request.Builder()
                    .url(forecastURL)
                    .build();
            Call call = client.newCall(request);
            call.enqueue(new Callback() {
                @Override
                public void onFailure(Call call, IOException e) {

                }

                @Override
                public void onResponse(Call call, Response response) throws IOException {
                    try {
                        String jsonData = response.body().string();
                        Log.v(TAG, "here is the code" + jsonData);
                        if (response.isSuccessful()) {
                            currentWeather = getCurrentDetails(jsonData);
                            CurrentWeather displayWeather = new CurrentWeather(
                                    currentWeather.getLocationLabel(),
                                    currentWeather.getIcon(),
                                    currentWeather.getTime(),
                                    currentWeather.getTemperature(),
                                    currentWeather.getHumidity(),
                                    currentWeather.getPrecipChance(),
                                    currentWeather.getSummary(),
                                    currentWeather.getTimeZone()
                            );
                            binding.setWeather(displayWeather);
                            Drawable drawable = getResources().getDrawable(displayWeather.getIconId()); 
//Suppossed to ge an error here...
                            iconImageView.setImageDrawable(drawable);

                        } else {
                            alertUserAboutError(getString(R.string.error_dialog_message_unsuccessful_response));

                        }
                    } catch (IOException e) {
                        Log.e(TAG, "IO exception caught: ", e);
                    } catch (JSONException e) {
                        Log.e(TAG, "JSON exception caught: ", e);
                    }
                }
            });
        } else {
            alertUserAboutError(getString(R.string.error_dialog_message_network_unavailable));

        }

P.S Feels weird to ask why I am not getting an error rather than the usual 'how to fricking solve one'!
