Android 9 (Pie) Only: Context.startForegroundService() did not then call Service.startForeground() - Works fine on Oreo

Question

We adjusted our ongoing notification for Oreo and it worked great. Now, on Pie only (not happening on Oreo devices), we\'re getting the titled error. Has something changed in

Answer 1

I stopped to get the error after implementing below code in ONCREATE

Intent intent1 = new Intent(this, YourActivity.class);
          try {
                startService(intent1);
            }catch ( Exception e1){
                if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
                    this.startForegroundService(intent1);
                }else {
                    Crashlytics.log("crash for first time, trying another.");
                    this.startService(intent1);
                }
            }

For me sounds strange but is working fine without crash.
