Almost definitely too much oil has been put back in on the service.

If you look at your dipstick and at the MIN and MAX marks, the oil should only be filled to about 2/3 to 3/4 the way up the MIN / MAX marks. If yours is sitting on the full mark or higher then this is 100% your problem and a simple easy fix.

Your car should have a sticker by the dipstick to indicate the new MAX level?? If not then it is worth checking with Volvo to see if your car has had recalls conducted (recalls are done free of charge).

Your remedy is to have the garage that done your service drop the oil level to the correct level and after 'XX' amount of start stop cycles (using the car normally) the message will go away or the garage can reset codes if they have ability. It would indicate the garage doesn't know what they are doing with your car by overfilling, this is common knowledge and bread and butter stuff for garages.
