Description

I am experiencing this error on production, but it seems that it only happens to Samsung devices according to BugSnag and when they close the app.

android.app.RemoteServiceExceptionMainActivity
Context.startForegroundService() did not then call Service.startForeground(): ServiceRecord{df48845 u0 app.puramente.app/com.tanguyantoine.react.MusicControlNotification$NotificationService}

1. Sample code (provide repo url or sample code)

2. Platform ?

   • iOS
   • Android

3. Device

• Simulator
• Real device

Fixed by adding notification permissions, it's my fatal...

@fandypeng could you share your solution?

Still the same issue on an Expo client. Crashes 5 seconds after opening the notification as hinted here.

I did not specify a "permission" key in app.json so that the FOREGROUND_SERVICE permission should be granted according to the doc.
