Workaround for dismissable Notification with recommended and required plugins

TGMPA / TGM-Plugin-Activation

TGM Plugin Activation is a PHP library that allows you to easily require or recommend plugins for your WordPress themes (and plugins). It allows your users to install, update and even automatically activate plugins in singular or bulk fashion using native WordPress classes, functions and interfaces. You can reference bundled plugins, plugins from the WordPress Plugin Repository or even plugins hosted elsewhere on the internet.

Hey, maybe this is interesting for some people which working with recommended and required plugins. The problem of TGMPA is, with the latest version you can't distinguish between recommended and required plugins, if you want to disable the notification only for recommended plugins.

This is a workaround and it works fine for me:

function dismissable_notice_for_recommended_plugins() {
        global $current_user; 

        if( $current_user ) {
            $activation_notice_dismissed = get_user_meta( $current_user->ID, 'tgmpa_dismissed_notice_your-tgmpa-id', true );

            if ( ! is_plugin_active('required-plugin-folder/required-plugin.php') && $activation_notice_dismissed == true ) {
                update_user_meta( $current_user->ID, 'tgmpa_dismissed_notice_your-tgmpa-id', false, true );
            }
        }
    }
    add_action('admin_notices', 'dismissable_notice_for_recommended_plugins');

A solution to show the notification again only, if a required plugin is inactive.
