Fix might me moving from IntentService to JobIntentService.

Thank you for pointing this out, our team is working on it and will post an update soon.

Thanks @peperodo for looking into it. Any ETA, I should expect here?

I'm running into this issue also, I'm pretty sure this is the fix for it https://developer.android.com/about/versions/oreo/android-8.0-changes.html#back-all

I still have issues with Android 8.1 in version v0.7.6

android.app.RemoteServiceException: Bad notification for startForeground: java.lang.RuntimeException: invalid channel for service notification: Notification(channel=null pri=0 contentView=null vibrate=null sound=null defaults=0x0 flags=0x40 color=0x00000000 vis=PRIVATE)

If I set my targetSdkVersion to 26 instead of 27 it works, but that isn't an ideal solution.
