Foreground service is destroyed after receiving the pending intent

I am trying to write a music player for android and am using foreground service to run the music player. I am sending a pendingIntent from the UI controls to the service to play songs. After receiving the intent, onStartCommand and onDestroy are called immediately. I am not sure how to stop the onDestroy the call.

I tried changing the pending intent to startService/ContextCompat.startForegroundService but the issue still persists.

Service:

import android.app.Service;
public class PlayerService extends Service{
private TransportControls transportControls;
@Override
  public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
    if (mediaSessionManager == null) {
      initMediaSession();
    }
    handleIntent(intent);

    return START_STICKY;
  }

private initMediaSession(){
     ...
     transportControls = mediaSession.getController().getTransportControls();

     mediaSession.setCallback(new MediaSessionCompat.Callback() {
      // Implement callbacks
      @Override
      public void onPlay() {
        play();
      }

     ...
  }

  handleIntent(Intent intent){
     // Initial checks
     if(/* action in intent is play*/) transportControls.play();
  }


  private void play(SongInfo songInfo){
     ...
      buildNotificaiton(//play action);
  }

  private void buildNotification(){
NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(
        this, "default").setContentIntent(intent)
        .setVisibility(NotificationCompat.VISIBILITY_PUBLIC)
        .setStyle(new MediaStyle()
            .setMediaSession(mediaSession.getSessionToken())
            .setShowActionsInCompactView(0, 1, 2))
        .setContentText(StringUtils.parseArtists(songInfo.artists()))
        .setContentTitle(songInfo.displayName())
        .setContentInfo(songInfo.album())
        .setSound(null);

    NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(
        Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
    if (notificationManager == null) {
      return;
    }

    if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
      NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel("default",
          "Bhatki media notification",
          NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH);
      channel.setDescription(
          "Notification displayed when music is being played. This notification is "
              + "required for the music to play.");
      notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(channel);
    }

    // Execution is reaching this line.
    startForeground(NOTIFICATION_ID, notificationBuilder.build());
  }
}

In activity:

Intent intent = new Intent();
    intent.setClass(context, PlayerService.class);
    intent.setAction(action);
    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_RECEIVER_FOREGROUND);

// one approach
    ContextCompat.startForegroundService(context, intent);

// Different approach
//    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent
//        .getService(serviceContext, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
//    try {
//      pendingIntent.send(serviceContext, 0, intent);
//    } catch (CanceledException e) {
//      Log.d(TAG, "sendIntent: failed");

I also added that android foreground service permission in the manifest:

 <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE"/>

I am expecting the notification and service to persist. Can't figure out why OnDestroy is called.

Once the service has been created, the service must call its startForeground() method within five seconds.

Apps that target Android 9 (API level 28) or higher and use foreground services must request the FOREGROUND_SERVICE permission

foreground service

Edit: I can't tell the problem from your code but from my experience, the notification block should be in override fun onCreate()
