Android Question Notifications stopped working (targetSdkVersion=26)

If I use the following in my manifest:

B4X: 
...
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="17" android:targetSdkVersion="25"/>
...
AddPermission(android.permission.VIBRATE)

Then the following notification works without problems:

B4X: 
Dim n As Notification
n.Initialize
n.Icon = "icon"
n.SetInfo("This is the title", "and this is the body.", "") 'Change Main to "" if this code is in the main module.
n.Notify(1)

When I change to android:targetSdkVersion="26", then the notification is no longer displayed. I have also tried the NotificationBuilder with the same effect.

What do I miss here?

There's no problem still targeting SDK 22, and to get the notification libraries to work on SDK 26+ they will have to be updated to handle "Notification channels".

Relevant tutorial: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...etsdkversion-minsdkversion.87610/#post-554210

You can use this code together with NotificationBuilder library to create a notification and set its channel:
B4X: 
Sub Button1_Click
   Dim nb As NotificationBuilder
   nb.Initialize
   nb.SmallIcon = "icon"
   nb.ContentTitle = "title"
   nb.ContentText = "content"
   Dim p As Phone
   If p.SdkVersion >= 26 Then
       Dim ctxt As JavaObject
       ctxt.InitializeContext
       Dim manager As JavaObject
       manager.InitializeStatic("android.app.NotificationManager")
       Dim Channel As JavaObject
       Dim ChannelVisibleName As String = Application.LabelName
       Channel.InitializeNewInstance("android.app.NotificationChannel", _
           Array("MyChannelId1", ChannelVisibleName, manager.GetField("IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT"))) 'change to IMPORTANCE_LOW to remove sounds
       manager = ctxt.RunMethod("getSystemService", Array("notification"))
       manager.RunMethod("createNotificationChannel", Array(Channel))
       Dim jo As JavaObject = nb
       jo.RunMethod("setChannelId", Array("MyChannelId1"))
   End If
   nb.Notify(1)
End Sub

Thanks, I will use the code you posted.

Maybe I'm worried too much about the changes. But since I stayed a while back in the last have, I have the anxiety to recover the knowledge that I miss to get to SDK 26

This code should also be added to the original notifications tutorial/post, or at least a link from the post above to the original tutorial/post.
