Crash while updating navigation notification: android.os.TransactionTooLargeException

[Kahtaf]

While testing 0.6.1 this morning, I received the following crash during the course of the navigation (was about half way through the route when it happened). I was not using the navigation UI, and my app wasn't showing any notifications.

Can you try updating to 0.6.2, we made a few changes that address a few issues in the notification. Also, which Android version are you running?

[Kahtaf]

It was a Nexus 6P running Oreo. I upgraded to 0.6.2 and drove the same route today, but didn't see that issue. It may be fixed in this version.

However, I started seeing the blue notification that I wasn't seeing in 0.6.1. How do I turn off the notification?

@Kahtaf We recently reworked the notification to get it working smoothly with Android O in #298. We were using a builder that was deprecated (we now need to provide a notification channel ID). Please keep an eye out for this crash regardless, as we haven't been able to reproduce it.

There is a method to enable / disable the notification in MapboxNavigationOptions https://www.mapbox.com/android-docs/navigation/overview/navigation-options/

Thanks! I'll report back if this issue happens again.

This was re-worked again in #564 @Kahtaf please let us know if you see it again.
