@gabriel1lima, sadly it is not possible to start the service without having the notification on Android. Taken from the Android Developer Docs:

A foreground service is a service that the user is actively aware of and isn't a candidate for the system to kill when low on memory. A foreground service must provide a notification for the status bar, which is placed under the Ongoing heading. This means that the notification cannot be dismissed unless the service is either stopped or removed from the foreground.

Since RN Headless JS extends the Android native Service class and react-native-background-actions allows your background action to run also on the foreground, any action you create will be considered a foreground service.
