Mildly annoying notifications

[gaussandhisgun]

Describe the bug

If my Android phone gets a notification which is set to be passed through to desktops, I receive it on my laptop. That's fine. But if I try to dismiss the notification, it just pops back. Indefinitely. Until i remove it from the phone.

Steps to reproduce

1. Set up Notifications plugin in KDE Connect so you can easily get a notification to appear on your phone and be sent over to your desktop (in my case, i pass all the Termux:API notifications)
2. Create or receive a notification in any way
3. Try to dismiss it from the desktop

Expected behavior

The notification should disappear either from just the desktop or from both desktop and phone, forever and ever.

Are you using any other extensions that may interfere with GSConnect's ability to track notifications?

It's possible this extension was interfering:

JS WARNING: [.../notifications_to_file@fawtytoo/extension.js 37]: Too many arguments to method Gio.OutputStream.write: expected 2, got 3

[andyholmes]

Yeah, that caught my attention, too.

[gaussandhisgun]

oh yeah, this still exists. for whatever reason, this issue does not happen with Waydroid running android 11 anymore, but still happens with my phone running android 13. weird

i am using notification log and notification expand, but that should not influence the fact that specifically on my phone the notifications sent to my phone originally dont get removed when they are removed on my laptop. and the fact that the same scenario, but with Waydroid, somehow works perfectly fine

also that extension does not work at all, should've removed it a long time ago

[gaussandhisgun]

notably, removing that did not help; also, buttons like "Mark as read" dont do anything either. up to date version stuff: GSConnect 55, gnome 44.5, kde connect 1.29.0 f-droid

[andyholmes]

Not sure then, I see GSConnect sending requests to close remote notifications from "termux". That seems to indicate there's nothing going wrong on GSConnect's side.

aaand its just now i notice that this is basically a direct clone of #789 - which, by the way, is also still unresolved :thinking:

[gaussandhisgun]

i might have found something, will report there (as this is a dub anyway)
