Bad notification posted from package com.khush.sample on Android 4.4-6 #79
Description
Note on vector drawables
Sample app uses part of its own default app icon as the notification icon. It's a vector drawable asset in res/drawable-v24.
Hotfix for Android 6 is to move the icon to res/drawable and let AGP generate PNG for Android 6 and older. That's not the real issue.
The actual problem
I tracked down the issue to invalid small icons supplied to NotificationCompat.Builder.addAction. Current value of -1 or 0xFFFFFFFF is technically a valid resource ID pointing to a missing resource. 0 is a designated "no icon" resource ID but action icons are required so that's not an acceptable solution.

Solution
Supply actual icons for PAUSE, RESUME, RETRY, and CANCEL notification actions.
