Foreground Notification in service not working in Android 8.1

Question

After upgrading my phone to 8.1 Developer Preview my background service no longer starts up properly. I still see a difference, in android oreo I don't see my custom foreground notification (I only see the "app is running in the background" notification). It works on android < 26 and on android 26 (Oreo) as well. Do I have to adjust anything there as well? Tks Bro!

My Service:

public class ForegroundService extends Service {
private static final String LOG_TAG = "ForegroundService";
public static boolean IS_SERVICE_RUNNING = false;


@Override
public void onCreate() {
    super.onCreate();
}

@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
    if (intent != null && intent.getAction().equals(Constants.ACTION.STARTFOREGROUND_ACTION)) {
        showNotification();
    } else if (intent != null && intent.getAction().equals(Constants.ACTION.STOPFOREGROUND_ACTION)) {
        MainActivity.exoPlayer.setPlayWhenReady(false);
        stopForeground(true);
        stopSelf();
    }
    return START_STICKY;
}
private void showNotification() {
    Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
    notificationIntent.setAction(Constants.ACTION.MAIN_ACTION);
    notificationIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
            | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,
            notificationIntent, 0);
    Intent playIntent = new Intent(this, ForegroundService.class);
    playIntent.setAction(Constants.ACTION.STOPFOREGROUND_ACTION);
    PendingIntent pplayIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0,
            playIntent, 0);
    Bitmap icon = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),
            R.drawable.radio);
    Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
            .setContentTitle("Background")
            .setContentText("is Playing...")
            .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.background)
            .setLargeIcon(Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(icon, 128, 128, false))
            .setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
            .setOngoing(true)
            .addAction(android.R.drawable.ic_delete, "Turn Off",
                    pplayIntent).build();
    startForeground(Constants.NOTIFICATION_ID.FOREGROUND_SERVICE,
            notification);
}
@Override
public void onDestroy() {
    super.onDestroy();
}
@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
    // Used only in case if services are bound (Bound Services).
    return null;
}

}

My Constants:

public class Constants {
public interface ACTION {
    public static String MAIN_ACTION = "com.marothiatechs.foregroundservice.action.main";
    public static String PLAY_ACTION = "com.marothiatechs.foregroundservice.action.play";
    public static String STARTFOREGROUND_ACTION = "com.marothiatechs.foregroundservice.action.startforeground";
    public static String STOPFOREGROUND_ACTION = "com.marothiatechs.foregroundservice.action.stopforeground";
}

public interface NOTIFICATION_ID {
    public static int FOREGROUND_SERVICE = 101;
}
}
