Android 10: android:foregroundServiceType="mediaProjection" not working with service

Media projections require a foreground service of type ServiceInfo.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_MEDIA_PROJECTION

I am trying to capture the screen using MediaProjection API but my app is continuously crashing. I tried and giving this error:

   java.lang.SecurityException: Media projections require a foreground service of type ServiceInfo.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_MEDIA_PROJECTION

My service code:

  class RecordService : Service() {
        private var mServiceHandler: ServiceHandler? = null
        private var mMediaProjection: MediaProjection? = null
        private var mVirtualDisplay: VirtualDisplay? = null

        private var resultCode = 0
        private var data: Intent? = null

    }

I did add android:foregroundServiceType="mediaProjection" in Manifest as well but it is not working. I tried other similar questing but the issue is not resolved yet. Thanks

Finally, I get the key: You must create NotificationChannel in onStartCommand firstly like below, otherwise you will get "FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_MEDIA_PROJECTION error".

@Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
    LogUtil.d(TAG, " onStartCommand intent = " + intent);
    createNotificationChannel();
    
    //do MediaProjection things that you want
    return START_NOT_STICKY;
}


private void createNotificationChannel() {
    Notification.Builder builder = new Notification.Builder(this.getApplicationContext()); //获取一个Notification构造器
    Intent nfIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class); //点击后跳转的界面，可以设置跳转数据

    builder.setContentIntent(PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, nfIntent, 0)) // 设置PendingIntent
        .setLargeIcon(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(this.getResources(), R.mipmap.ic_launcher)) // 设置下拉列表中的图标(大图标)
        //.setContentTitle("SMI InstantView") // 设置下拉列表里的标题
        .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher) // 设置状态栏内的小图标
        .setContentText("is running......") // 设置上下文内容
        .setWhen(System.currentTimeMillis()); // 设置该通知发生的时间

    /*以下是对Android 8.0的适配*/
    //普通notification适配
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
        builder.setChannelId("notification_id");
    }
    //前台服务notification适配
    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
        NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel("notification_id", "notification_name", NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_LOW);
        notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(channel);
    }

    Notification notification = builder.build(); // 获取构建好的Notification
    notification.defaults = Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND; //设置为默认的声音
    startForeground(110, notification);
}
