Persisting other entities inside preUpdate of Doctrine Entity Listener

I give all the credits to Richard for pointing me into the right direction, so I’m accepting his answer. Nevertheless I also publish my answer with the complete code for future visitors.

class ProjectEntitySubscriber implements EventSubscriber
{
    public function getSubscribedEvents()
    {
        return array(
            'onFlush',
        );
    }

    public function onFlush(OnFlushEventArgs  $args)
    {
        $em = $args->getEntityManager();
        $uow = $em->getUnitOfWork();

        foreach ($uow->getScheduledEntityUpdates() as $keyEntity => $entity) {
            if ($entity instanceof ProjectTolerances) {
                foreach ($uow->getEntityChangeSet($entity) as $keyField => $field) {
                    $notification = new ProjectNotification();
                    // place here all the setters
                    $em->persist($notification);
                    $classMetadata = $em->getClassMetadata('AppBundle\Entity\ProjectNotification');
                    $uow->computeChangeSet($classMetadata, $notification);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
