Should notifications be mandatory? #285

Closed cho-4 closed 1 month ago

I don't want to use notifications, is there any way?

@cho-4

On Android 13 (API level 33) or higher, if the user denies the notification permission, they still see notices related to foreground services in the Task Manager but don't see them in the notification drawer.

The notefication will always appear in older versions.

Foreground services can run for a long time compared to other background api. This uses a lot of battery and memory resources on the device, so it would be correct to notify the user through a notification. Please be considerate of users and provide transparency in service use.

Thank you for your reply.

So what you're saying is that there is no way to turn off notifications other than denying notification permissions, right?
