How to implement Notification Channels when creating an Android Oreo app

Starting with Android 8.0 you can separate your app’s notifications into notification channels. All notifications that are posted to the same channel have the same behaviour, for example you could create a channel for your app’s most urgent notifications, where each notification is announced with an alert sound, vibration and a notification light, and then create “quieter” channels for the rest of your app’s notifications.
