any fix for this issue

[lock-e-box]

the software works like a charm ...
Above Oreo you need to make a notification channel for the soft to work.

This is very well explained in the following youtube link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbpD5RZtbCc

Once you do this, everything works as expected

-- myapplication --
@OverRide
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
....
createNotificationChannel();
...
}
private void createNotificationChannel(){
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT>=Build.VERSION_CODES.O){
NotificationChannel serviceChannel = new NotificationChannel(
CHANNEL_ID,
"service channel",
NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT
);
NotificationManager manager = getSystemService(NotificationManager.class);
manager.createNotificationChannel(serviceChannel);

    }
}

--- MQTTService ---
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
try {
Notification.Builder builder = new Notification.Builder(this, MyApplication.CHANNEL_ID)
.setContentTitle(getString(R.string.app_name))
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_light)
.setContentText("MQTT Running")
.setAutoCancel(true);

            Notification notification = builder.build();
            startForeground(1, notification);
