When API >= 26 you have to use NotificationChannel

[michielvaneerd]

When API >= 26 you have to use NotificationChannel otherwise notifications don't work anymore. This pull request adds NotificationChannel support and makes notifications work again. Other small changes:

• Small improvement with repeated notifications
• Update documentation

I think people are going to run into this more now that Google is starting to require min api 26. Previous version of the module will fail silently.

Yes I have experiences. I have build an other module with PN, Next days I will look into.

Maybe TaskScheduler is a better idea for starting processes later.

Thanks @michielvaneerd your PR works fine, but I've an issue: when I click on the notification icon, the app shows this alert dialog:

Restart Required
An application restart is required

CONTINUE

and the app don't restart anymore

@Astrovic For me it's working. If you can share the code for a runnable example I can have a look.

@michielvaneerd I solved by adding this property on tiapp.xml:

<property name="ti.android.bug2373.finishfalseroot" type="bool">true</property>
