Android Question Notifications with sound, but not for service?

[App Dude]

I'm having some frustrations and confusion with this...
I have a service (GPS for odometer) running in the background and it does a periodic restart and does a Service.StartForeground() which requires a notification. That creates an unwanted notification sound at regular intervals. FWIW, I'm following the MyLocation example for that part.
I need other notifications with sound in the app, so I can't make notifications for the whole app silent.

So I want to be able to create notifications with sound in the app, and I need to GPS to work in the background (to calculate odometer distance), but I don't want the background service to keep making the notification sound.

Is there a way around this? Hope it's just something I'm not understanding clearly.

Thanks.

There is no relation between different notifications in your app.

Use NB6 and create two different notifications with two different channels.

First time I've heard of NB6... will check it out.
