android.app.RemoteServiceException Bad notification posted

Question

Sometimes my application get this kind of exception:

Fatal Exception: android.app.RemoteServiceException: Bad notification posted from package com.packagename: Couldn't expand RemoteViews for: StatusBarNotification(pkg=com.packagename user=UserHandle{0} id=136094146 tag=null score=0: Notification(pri=0 contentView=com.packagename/0x109007e vibrate=default sound=default defaults=0xffffffff flags=0x11 kind=[null]))

Code creating notification:

PendingIntent intent = PendingIntent.getActivities(this, id,
        notificationIntents, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);


int color = ContextCompat.getColor(this, R.color.notif_background);

NotificationManagerCompat notificationManager = NotificationManagerCompat.from(this);
NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
        .setContentText(description)
        .setSmallIcon(getSmallIcon())
        .setLargeIcon(getLargeIcon())
        .setColor(color)
        .setDefaults(NotificationCompat.DEFAULT_ALL)
        .setAutoCancel(true)
        .setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigPictureStyle().bigLargeIcon(largeIcon))
        .setContentIntent(intent);

if (title != null) {
    notificationBuilder.setContentTitle(title)
            .setTicker(title)
            .setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle()
                    .setBigContentTitle(title).bigText(description));
} else {
    notificationBuilder.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle()
            .bigText(description));
}

if (image != null) {
    notificationBuilder
            .setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigPictureStyle()
                    .bigPicture(image).setSummaryText(description));
}
android.app.Notification notification = notificationBuilder.build();
notificationManager.notify(id, notification);

I have seen almost all the solution on stack overflow and it shows that this issue is regarding custom layout. But I didn't use custom layout. I couldn't understand what is the exact issue. Can anyone help?

I had the same issuee when I used notification icons in .webp Be sure that you use icons in .png for devices with KitKat and below.
