android.app.RemoteServiceException: Bad notification for startForeground: java.lang.RuntimeException: icon must be non-zero

[kjjgibson]

When running my tests occasionally I get this exception:

FATAL EXCEPTION: main
    Process: com.moroku.clientlibrary.test, PID: 5877
    android.app.RemoteServiceException: Bad notification for startForeground: java.lang.RuntimeException: icon must be non-zero

            at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:698)

I think the issue is coming from Robospice but it only seems to happen about 1 in every 5/6 times. I'm running on a Nexus 5 which is running Android 5.1.1.

This could be related to the hack done to not require an icon when it runs in the background. Try setting an application icon for the notification and see if that works

Thanks for the quick response.

I set the app icon and this fixes the problem.

The project is actually a library project which is why it didn't have an icon to begin with. However the library project cannot have an app icon as this conflicts with the actual apps icon and I get a manifest merger failed error. In case anyone else sees this then I've fixed this problem by referring to this: link
