I am working on FCM Push notification in Android, where I am getting this exception:
GcmBroadcastReceiver IllegalStateException: Not allowed to start service Intent
I have searched many question in this forum, but still didn't got help for solving it. My Log and Manifest patch is also given below.
Manifest:

You are running on Android 8.0+, with a targetSdkVersion
of 26+. You cannot reliably call startService()
from the background, such as from a GCM receiver. Instead, you should either:
Switch to startForegroundService()
and use a foreground service, or
Switch to JobIntentService
In your particular case, the code that is calling startService()
appears to be from Parse. You should see if there is an update to the Parse client that takes Android 8.0 into account.
