Did you find a solution? I can explain to you with another code. It's a little bit similar, but I have modified it because I am playing a Streaming Audio. Let me know if you need some help.

I just want to share with you my showNotification() method

private void showNotification() {

    if (intent.getAction().equals(Constants.ACTION.STARTFOREGROUND_ACTION)) {

        //Start IntentNotification
        Log.i(LOG_TAG, "Received Start Foreground Intent ");
        Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(ForegroundService.this, MainActivity.class);
        notificationIntent.setAction(Constants.ACTION.MAIN_ACTION);

        //With this settings you can open the same Activity without recreate.
        //But you have to put in your AndroidManifest.xml the next line: to your Activity
        //activity android:name=".MainActivity" android:launchMode="singleInstance"

        notificationIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0,
                notificationIntent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

        //Intent for Play
        Intent playIntent = new Intent(this, ForegroundService.class);
        playIntent.setAction(Constants.ACTION.PLAY_ACTION);
        PendingIntent pplayIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0, playIntent, 0);

        //Intent for Pause
        Intent pausaIntent = new Intent(this, ForegroundService.class);
        pausaIntent.setAction(Constants.ACTION.PAUSE_ACTION);
        PendingIntent pauseIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0, pausaIntent, 0);

        //Intent for Close
        stopIntent = new Intent(this, ForegroundService.class);
        stopIntent.setAction(Constants.ACTION.CLOSE_ACTION);
        PendingIntent closeIntent = PendingIntent.getService(this, 0, stopIntent, 0);

        //Icon for your notification
        Bitmap icon = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.mipmap.ic_launcher);

        notifManager =
                (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);


        PendingIntent pi = PendingIntent.getActivity(getApplicationContext(), 0,
                new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class),
                PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

        // Build the notification object.
        mNotificationBuilder = new Notification.Builder(this)
                .setContentTitle("Thinking out Loud")
                .setContentText("Ed Sheeran")
                .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
                .setLargeIcon(Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(icon, 128, 128, false))
                .setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
                .setOngoing(true)
                .addAction(R.drawable.ic_play_service, "PLAY", pplayIntent) //you can set a specific icon
                .addAction(R.drawable.ic_pause_service, "PAUSE", pauseIntent) //you can set a specific icon
                .addAction(R.drawable.ic_close_service, "CLOSE", closeIntent);//you can set a specific icon

        startForeground(Constants.NOTIFICATION_ID.FOREGROUND_SERVICE, mNotificationBuilder.build());

    } else if (intent.getAction().equals(Constants.ACTION.PLAY_ACTION)) {
        Log.i(LOG_TAG, "Clicked Play");

        //Click Play notification
    } else if (intent.getAction().equals(Constants.ACTION.PAUSE_ACTION)) {
        Log.i(LOG_TAG, "Clicked PAUSE");

        //This is for Pause
    } else if (intent.getAction().equals(Constants.ACTION.CLOSE_ACTION)) {
        Log.i(LOG_TAG, "Clicked Close");

        //This is for close the NotificationService
        stopForeground(true);

    } else if (intent.getAction().equals(Constants.ACTION.STOPFOREGROUND_ACTION)) {
        Log.i(LOG_TAG, "Received Stop Foreground Intent");
        stopForeground(true);

        //Stop Notification Service
        stopSelf();
    }
}

My Constants.class

public class Constants {
    public interface ACTION {
        public static String MAIN_ACTION = "action.main";
        public static String PREV_ACTION = "action.prev";
        public static String PLAY_ACTION = "action.play";
        public static String PAUSE_ACTION = "action.pause";
        public static String NEXT_ACTION = "action.next";
        public static String CLOSE_ACTION = "action.close";
        public static String STARTFOREGROUND_ACTION = "action.startforeground";
        public static String STOPFOREGROUND_ACTION = "action.stopforeground";
    }

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