Context.startForegroundService() did not then call Service.startForeground()

by

From Google’s docs on Android 8.0 behavior changes:

The system allows apps to call Context.startForegroundService() even while the app is in the background. However, the app must call that service’s startForeground() method within five seconds after the service is created.

Solution:
Call startForeground() in onCreate() for the Service which you use Context.startForegroundService()
