Local Notifications not working on Android Oreo (target SDK 26)

Problem: Notifications are working fine on iOS, but when I run the app on my Android device with Oreo I get no notifications and the following error in my logs:

12-08 13:19:23.423 4324 26687 E NotificationService: No Channel found for pkg=com.saferackexample, channelId=null, id=1222192301, tag=null, opPkg=com.saferackexample, callingUid=10196, userId=0, incomingUserId=0, notificationUid=10196, notification=Notification(channel=null pri=1 contentView=null vibrate=[0,300] sound=content://settings/system/notification_sound defaults=0x4 flags=0x10 color=0x00000000 category=call vis=PRIVATE)

compileSdkVersion:` 26, buildToolsVersion: 26.0.02,

build.gradle dependencies:

dependencies {
    compile project(':react-native-push-notification')
    compile(project(':react-native-maps')){
        exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-base'
        exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-maps'
      }
    compile project(':react-native-background-geolocation')
    compile(name: 'tslocationmanager', ext: 'aar')
    compile fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
    compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0"
    compile "com.facebook.react:react-native:+"  // From node_modules
    
    compile ("com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:11.6.0") {
        force = true;
    }
    compile ("com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.6.0") {
        force = true;
    }
    compile ("com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:11.6.0") {
        force = true;
    }
    compile ("com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.6.0") {
        force = true;
    }
}

I installed the package exactly as described in the repo and I’m only looking to use local notifications in my app. Has anyone come across this or have a possible solution?

Thank you very much for your assistance.

For anyone else struggling with this. I got around this issue by downgrade my target sdk version to 25. Not ideal but works until a proper fix is merged in.

In app/build.gradle

...
targetSdkVersion 25

For Android Oreo support on localNotification, I added these lines in manifest

<application ... >

    <meta-data  android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.notification_channel_name"
        android:value="YOUR NOTIFICATION CHANNEL NAME"/>

    <meta-data  android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.notification_channel_description"
        android:value="YOUR NOTIFICATION CHANNEL DESCRIPTION"/>

    <!-- Change the resource name to your App's accent color - or any other color you want -->
    <meta-data  android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.notification_color"
        android:resource="@android:color/white"/>

    ...

as mentioned in localNotificationSchedule configuration here
