Accrued Revenue is earned but not yet received, whereas Unearned Revenue is received but not yet earned.
Accrued Revenue is recognized as revenue in the current accounting period, whereas Unearned Revenue is recognized as a liability until earned.

Contingent expense is  there in accounting parlance. Unearned revenue is generally not provided unless there is a certainty. 

There is nothing called unearned revenue apart from contingency. If it's sales, it's is already recognised. So what other contingency exists? Unearned/ unrealised (both are close here) gains exists on revaluations but not revenues.
