Notification cancelled immediately on Samsung Galaxy S6 android 7

Question

I created a notification using this code:

Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

final int notificationID = NotificationID.getID();

PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, notificationID, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);

Uri defaultSoundUri= RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
        .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.notif_icon)
        .setContentTitle(messageTitle)
        .setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle().bigText(messageTitle + "\n" +messageBody))
        .setContentText(messageTitle + " " +messageBody)
        .setAutoCancel(true)                
        .setSound(defaultSoundUri)
        .setContentIntent(pendingIntent);

NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(notificationID, notificationBuilder.build());

This works well on many devices, however on a Samsung Galaxy S6 android 7 the notification is cancelled immediately.

I tried putting the ongoing flag and the notification remains visible, however this is not a solution because the user won't be able to cancel it be swiping the notification.

Any idea what might cause the problem?

Remove setAutoCancel(true) from your code.

setAutoCancel()

Notification.Builder setAutoCancel (boolean autoCancel) Make this notification automatically dismissed when the user touches it.
