To me, its no big deal if the icon is there all the time. Yes the ui would be
less cluttered if the icon disappeared when not connected, but I won't lose
sleep over it if it didn't.

Hi again, I would also prefer the icon only when connected (by option).
But do I get this right? If the icon is not there, there is always the chance
that a2dpvolume gets terminated? I mean even when disconnected a terminated
service would be bad so it is not available when the BT device comes up, no? Or
does a2dpvolume would always come up if closed in the meanwhile?

Yes, you are correct. If you don't have the icon showing, Android considers it
a "background" task meaning it is in the list to be killed if memory is needed.
You are also correct that if an app is killed, it may not restart
automatically. Even if it does restart, A2DP Volume would not see the
transition from not connected to connected so it could not capture the previous
states properly and it would not perform the connect actions. Bottom line: if
you want it to actually work, the icon must be showing.

It's minor but I also would like to keep my notification area uncluttered.
Could the disconnected icon be as small as the system allows and completely
transparent? I suppose it would still show in the pull down tray but at least
that's not always visible.

Are there still any plans to implement this? I'd love to have the assurance
that it's always going to work properly... but REALLY hate the extra clutter
that comes with icons always remaining in the tray up top (especially when they
really don't signify anything).
Just looking for an update if possible. Love the app, really works well.
Thanks.

I am actually having second thoughts on implementing this. The problem is that
it will not ensure the app will work on connect. There is already a setting to
just turn OFF the icon for those who don't like it. However, the app may not
work that way either. But making the icon active only while connected will not
ensure the app will work on connect which is the most important time anyway.
So, I really question the value now. I could make the icon basically invisible
but it would still occupy a space. This gets down to just a visual thing. Is
it really worth it? I guess we all have pet peeves and apparently the icon is
one for many on this thread.
I have also just been swamped with other projects and activities and have not
gotten around to implementing this. I may have some more time over the
holidays. This is just a hobby of mine after all.

Thanks for the update. I'd be fine with just the smallest, most unobtrusive
icon possible if removal isn't an option. Appreciate any time you give on it.

Fixed in 2.11.2 and up.

API 16 added a feature which allows multiple levels of notification. I now set
this app to use minimum priority which means it will not show on the
notification bar but will show when the user pulls down the notifications.
Perfect.
