any fix for this issue

[lock-e-box]

the software works like a charm ... Above Oreo you need to make a notification channel for the soft to work.

This is very well explained in the following youtube link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbpD5RZtbCc

Once you do this, everything works as expected

-- myapplication -- @Override public void onCreate() { super.onCreate(); .... createNotificationChannel(); ... } private void createNotificationChannel(){ if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT>=Build.VERSION_CODES.O){ NotificationChannel serviceChannel = new NotificationChannel( CHANNEL_ID, "service channel", NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT ); NotificationManager manager = getSystemService(NotificationManager.class); manager.createNotificationChannel(serviceChannel);

    }
}

--- MQTTService --- public void onCreate() { super.onCreate(); if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) { try { Notification.Builder builder = new Notification.Builder(this, MyApplication.CHANNEL_ID) .setContentTitle(getString(R.string.app_name)) .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_light) .setContentText("MQTT Running") .setAutoCancel(true);

            Notification notification = builder.build();
            startForeground(1, notification);
