If B4A 8.5 supports android 9 (SDK 28) then why I couldn't find "android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE" in runtime library. Do am I missing something.

I'm sorry but you are still confusing support with recommended targetSdkVersion. The correct solution was given multiple times. You should set the targetSdkVersion to 26. Your app will work on all devices including Android 9 devices.

1. There is no relation between this permission and support of Android 9.
2. It is not a dangerous permission so you don't need to request it at runtime.

That was my last answer in this thread.
