Unable to disable notifications on Android Orio for latest plugin version

[geoffbullen]

Which platform(s) does your issue occur on?

• Android Orio

Please, tell us how to recreate the issue in as much detail as possible.

Using latest version (3.2.7) and android api v27, and setting androidDisplayNotificationProgress: false, you get the below error:

Android Oreo requires a notification configuration for the service to run. https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Context.html#startForegroundService(android.content.Intent

• Using earlier versions of Android, you don't get the error
• Setting to true, or by removing the property you don't get the error

The only way I have found that I can avoid this issue is to allow notifications.

@geoffbullen,
This behaviour is expected. It is due to the new Android requirement that developers must use notifications when running background tasks. Check this article for more information.

Thanks @tgpetrov.

OK, thats a shame as I am doing lots of upload requests, so going to be a bit annoying for the user...

But thank you for the explanation.
