beta .3 is working with AVD 8.1 but not with physical device 8.1: still having the same issue.
Debugging with android studio i found that the resId is loaded in getSmallIcon https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications/blob/06baff7674014d525238ae2b86f20ebf1622dda5/src/android/notification/Options.java#L379
It goes in the first if statement trying to load the DEFAULT_ICON (that is unavailable) so it get the system resource and return a resId...

[luca-itro]

To prevent app crash you must define the smallIcon into the notification object param. However if it doesen't find the resource it fallback to a system resource that cannot be accessed in android Oreo.
My pull seems to prevent this issue

I can confirm that beta .3 is NOT working on real Android 8.1 devices.

Thank you

This works for me
This is how my code looks now:

const notification = {
      id: 1234,
      text: 'This is notification',
      trigger: { at: new Date() },
      led: 'FF0000',
      smallIcon: 'res://mipmap-hdpi/ic_launcher.png',
      icon: 'res://mipmap-hdpi/ic_launcher.png',
      vibrate: true
    };
    this.localNotifications.schedule(notification);

res is a folder in android/app/src/main/res
