Android O (8.1.0) : invalid channel for service notification #473
Description
I've got this new error for users using android 8.1.0 :
"android.app.RemoteServiceException: Bad notification for startForeground: java.lang.RuntimeException: invalid channel for service notification: Notification(channel=null..."
I can reproduce the error on emulator using API level 27.
I've found this topic :

The error is not systematic and depend on the robospice service : if the service is completed when onDestroy is called => no crash, if the service is still running => crash.
I'm not 100% that the crash is due to Robospice, but I do not use notification manager in my code, and it always crash when leaving the app with service un background.
Here is the full error in logcat :
