How Can I Use BroadcastReceiver on API 26 and Higher? - api

Question

I'm developing an Android App. Users can chat each other. I fetch the messages on PushReceiver class. App opened or closed I mean foreground or background; the code block working from API 19 to API 26 but not working higher than API 26. I try to debug onReceive function but it's not call on Android O.
I want to say again. My code block working API 25 and lower versions.
I'm using pushy.me service.
My BroadcastReceiver Class:
public class PushReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String notificationTitle = "Title";
String notificationText = "Text";
Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();
for (String key : bundle.keySet()) {
try {
jsonObject.put(key, wrap(bundle.get(key)));
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
try {
notificationText = jsonObject.get("body").toString();
notificationTitle = jsonObject.get("title").toString();
} catch (Exception e) {}
// Prepare a notification with vibration, sound and lights
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setSmallIcon(android.R.drawable.ic_dialog_info)
.setContentTitle(notificationTitle)
.setContentText(notificationText)
.setLights(Color.RED, 1000, 1000)
.setVibrate(new long[]{0, 400, 250, 400})
.setSound(RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION))
.setContentIntent(PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, new Intent(context, MainActivity.class), PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT));
// Automatically configure a Notification Channel for devices running Android O+
Pushy.setNotificationChannel(builder, context);
// Get an instance of the NotificationManager service
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
// Build the notification and display it
notificationManager.notify(1, builder.build());
}
}
My Manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />

The latest Pushy Android SDK has added support for Android O power saving optimizations (App Standby / deprecation of Service), please update by following the instructions on this page:
https://pushy.me/docs/android/get-sdk
Also, make sure to add the following new JobService declaration to your AndroidManifest.xml, under the <application> tag:
<!-- Pushy Job Service (added in Pushy SDK 1.0.35) -->
<!-- Do not modify - internal service -->
<service android:name="me.pushy.sdk.services.PushyJobService"
android:permission="android.permission.BIND_JOB_SERVICE"
android:exported="true" />
