DroneKit Crashes on Android 8+

[binloan]

Following your example project once you call

this.controlTower.connect(listener:this);

The app crashes with the following message:

E/AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main
    Process: com.example.dronekit, PID: 8258
    android.app.RemoteServiceException: Bad notification for startForeground: java.lang.RuntimeException: invalid channel for service notification: Notification(channel=null pri=-2 contentView=null vibrate=null sound=null defaults=0x0 flags=0x40 color=0x00000000 vis=PRIVATE)

Seems like you do not take care of the change behavior of startForeground in Android 8.
