startForeground() does not show my Notification

Question

I am trying to make my Service running in foreground. I tried to use this example (please look for the section \"Running a Service in the Foreground\")

Answer 1

Is your service a started service or a bound service? I had the same issue with a bound service, but starting the service before binding it allowed me to call startForeground(int, notification) with and have the notification show up.
