I have next crash on android 4.4

Fatal Exception: android.app.RemoteServiceException
Bad notification posted from package myapp: 
Couldn't create icon: StatusBarIcon(pkg=myappr=0 id=0x7f080117 level=0 visible=true num=0 )

I realized that the problem is in the setsmallIcon method. People write that before API 21 you need to use PNG, and then you can use vector. okay, I do.

Here's how I do

NotificationCompat.Builder builder 
= new NotificationCompat.Builder(getBaseContext(), REMINDER_CHANNEL_ID)            
.setSmallIcon(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP ? R.drawable.ic_notification : R.mipmap.ic_notification)

drawable.ic_notification is xml, mipmap.ic_notification is png for mdpi, hdpi, xhdpi, xxhdpi. Tell me, please, how to deal with this problem? I read a lot of topics, but the distinct answer have not received. Thanks

change your icon and try it. some icon type not supported – HemalHerath Apr 23 '19 at 14:39
@Umair i read it, but don't help me – Nikitc Apr 23 '19 at 15:21
@HemalHerath you can learn more about what is not supported – Nikitc Apr 23 '19 at 15:23
@Nikitc try changing the name of either notification icon or png image's. and then clean your project and re-run it. – Umair Apr 24 '19 at 06:55
@Umair I can't replicate this behavior. everything works fine for me. but judging by crashlytics many users on android 4 have such a problem. – Nikitc Apr 24 '19 at 07:27
@Nikitc does useSupportLibrary is set to true in your gradle file ? – Umair Apr 24 '19 at 07:37
@Umair does'nt. I need set true? – Nikitc Apr 24 '19 at 08:33
@Nikitc try setting this in your .gradle file vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true – Umair Apr 24 '19 at 09:20
