Android 10 MediaStyle Notification Seek Bar is Black

The MediaStyle Notification introduced in Android 10 works but is however black and doesn't display duration either.

Android 10 Media Style Notification with Black Seek Bar

Here is a link to the code: https://github.com/ryanheise/audio_service/blob/master/android/src/main/java/com/ryanheise/audioservice/AudioService.java

Reference another question: android 10 seek bar on notification

This only appears to happen to certain devices where on other devices the seek bar will display perfectly fine.

Additionally on the same device other media players have perfectly fine displaying seek bars, such as Youtube, Youtube Red, Google Play Music, etc.

I followed the hints reported in this bug report and I solved the problem. I successfully tested it on Samsung and Huawei devices with Android 10.

The trick is:

As per Google's Material Design guidelines, the small icon in the notification should be monochrome white, and have a transparent background. If you follow those guidelines, the slider displays correctly.

Some people report also that you have to set a non transparent color (like Color.BLACK) using setColor() method to make it work on some devices.
