Default Priority Of Notification Channel On Android 8

I am in the process of changing the target SDK version to 26 and trying to use notification channels. I have some notifications for which I would like to hide the icon in the notif

Solution 1:

It turned out that this is not respected because I am starting the notification with StartForeground. This is documented on https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/NotificationManager.html#IMPORTANCE_MIN.
