The code below works without any problem on pre-Oreo versions.
Although I user startForeground method and making explicit intent to get Activity values, onHandleIntent method is never called.
I cannot find any issue or solution about this issue.
Is there any chance to overcome this issue?
Note: I try on my phone which runs a custom ROM and I can not simulate on Android Emulator this circumstance.
