Notification Channel Management
Starting in Android 8.0 (API level 26), all notifications must be assigned to a channel.
This section describes how you can create and group these channels to be compliant and aid your users to manage your notifications in a desirable way. For example, you may want to group critical notifications together and more informative notifications in a different own channel.
The way it works is that you build a Channel or Group, use any of the setting nodes to add/update properties and when you are ready, save the channel to be used
The majority of these blueprint nodes return a Notification Result indicating whether or not the operation was successful.
