Push notification is not working in Oreo (8.1.0) after the app is closed

Question

Android: 8.1.0 Device: Infinix X604B

Problem: Using "Notification Composer" in Firebase console to send notification to my signed release app. Things works when my app is in foreground / background. When I close app by swapping it out from open app list, notifications sent are not received.

I get following in my logcat:

from 8.0 onward you need to create notification channel and assign notification to it — karan

Android 8.0 introduces notification channels that allow you to create a user-customizable channel for each type of notification you want to display.

We can separate the behaviour of notifications by creating the channels for each of them. If no channel is specified for a notification, this notification will not appear in the status bar.

Before Android Oreo when we wanted to create a notification we had to do something like this:

    /**Creates an explicit intent for an Activity in your app**/
    Intent resultIntent = new Intent(mContext , SomeOtherActivity.class);
    resultIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

    PendingIntent resultPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(mContext,
            0 /* Request code */, resultIntent,
            PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

    mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(mContext);
    mBuilder.setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher);
    mBuilder.setContentTitle(title)
            .setContentText(message)
            .setAutoCancel(false)
            .setSound(Settings.System.DEFAULT_NOTIFICATION_URI)
            .setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);

    mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

    assert mNotificationManager != null;
    mNotificationManager.notify(0 /* Request Code */, mBuilder.build());

Now with Android Oreo, to display one notification we will have to do something like this (Check added if):

        /**Creates an explicit intent for an Activity in your app**/
        Intent resultIntent = new Intent(mContext , SomeOtherActivity.class);
        resultIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

        PendingIntent resultPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(mContext,
                0 /* Request code */, resultIntent,
                PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

        mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(mContext);
        mBuilder.setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher);
        mBuilder.setContentTitle(title)
                .setContentText(message)
                .setAutoCancel(false)
                .setSound(Settings.System.DEFAULT_NOTIFICATION_URI)
                .setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);

        mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) mContext.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

        if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.O)
        {
            int importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH;
            NotificationChannel notificationChannel = new NotificationChannel(NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID, "NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_NAME", importance);
            notificationChannel.enableLights(true);
            notificationChannel.setLightColor(Color.RED);
            notificationChannel.enableVibration(true);
            notificationChannel.setVibrationPattern(new long[]{100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 400, 300, 200, 400});
            assert mNotificationManager != null;
            mBuilder.setChannelId(NOTIFICATION_CHANNEL_ID);
            mNotificationManager.createNotificationChannel(notificationChannel);
        }

        assert mNotificationManager != null;
        mNotificationManager.notify(0 /* Request Code */, mBuilder.build());
