Why does the notification not show up in API 28?

Noobcoder :

I have looked at android documentation and I have seen all the answers in StackOverflow, however, I cannot seem to understand why the notification I am trying to show not show up. Whenever I click the button, instead of notification showing up, the app crashes, can someone please give me insight as to why this is occurring?

notify_me.setOnClickListener(
            new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
                        NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel("miscellaneous", "Hello World", NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH);
                        channel.setDescription("Hello Brothers and Sisters");
                        NotificationManager noti = getSystemService(NotificationManager.class);
                        noti.createNotificationChannel(channel);
                    }
                }
            }
    );

Here is the stack trace

ianhanniballake :

As per the error message, you cannot use "miscellaneous" as the ID of your notification channel - that name is reserved specifically for apps that don't target API 26 or higher for posting all notifications that don't have a channel attached to them.

You can use any other id string for your channel.
