MediaProjection service type not recognized in android Q

Question

With the new privacy changes in effect with Android Q, it is now mandatory for any app using MediaProjection api to specify android:foregroundServiceType attribute

Answer 1

Don't you forget to add permission into AndroidManifest.xml ?

UPDATE

Make sure you call startForeground() before getMediaProjection()!

The best solution is to call startForeground() from onCreate() without any conditions, displaying some sort of default messages in notification. Then you can execute your logic and call NotificationManager.notify() with updated notification at any time.
