[x] Notification icon missing Fixed in c498807
[x] Clicking on notification should open Watomatic app - Fixed in c498807

[x] Also, not working when data is cleared (fresh install)

I would also add an explanation on why they should enable the notification, and maybe even have it enabled by default so that they have the app working non-stop by default.

Always-On Notification
Permanently show icon in the notification bar when Watomatic is enabled. Enable this if the app is not working properly in the background

But is the help text too long?

Current plan is, it should be Off for everyone by default and if the app detects service is getting killed in the background, it prompts the user to enable it. For this PR, it is OFF for everyone. We can do service killed detection in another iteration.

Also in the future if we can get data regarding what devices or brands are having this issue, we can enable for those brands by default (For now, a few Xiaomi and OnePlus devices seem to have this issue).

What about

Always-On notification
Display a persistent notification to ensure Watomatic is not killed by the system

It's shorter and I think it'll do.

Sounds good!

[x] Clicking on Watomatic notification when we receive WhatsApp message (not persistent notification) is also opening Watomatic app instead of Whatsapp Fixed in f242943
