Calling init() from the main.ts does not help this particular problem, because error occurs while having this in my main.ts:

import { init } from "@nativescript/background-http";

init();

According to https://github.com/gotev/android-upload-service/issues/510 createNotificationChannel() needs to be called explicitly.

Start with the main.ts entry point and the @nativescript/background-http init() call, then read the linked android-upload-service issue about explicitly calling createNotificationChannel(). Reproduce the Android crash and trace service startup; done means the reported IllegalArgumentException no longer occurs on affected devices.
