Context
I’ve got an issue by running the plugin on Android 8. The notification doesn’t show up on the notification bar. There’s a fixed notification telling the user that the app is consuming battery instead. Even though I set the title, text, icon color, and stuff it doesn’t work. I figured out that on Android 7.1 or bellow it does work fine. I could even change the targetSdkVersion to 25 or bellow so it works on Android 8 but my problem is that Google Play Store will start requiring targetSdkVersion 26 in august. I need to know if there’s an update to solve this or even a way to remove this notification on Android 8. Everything else works fine for me.
Expected Behavior
The “consuming battery” notification should not appear.
Actual Behavior
Should be a notification to tell the user that the app is running on background
Possible Fix:
I need to know if there’s an update to solve this or even a way to remove this notification on Android 8.
Steps to Reproduce
- Simply run the project on Android 8
Context
It’s showing the wrong notification.
Debug logs
There’s no logs for this
