Persistent nofication vanishes when a MQTT message published from Tasker

[dummylabs]

I have Show Persistent Notification setting on (with max priority) and I can see the icon and notification text in Android notification area. I have also disabled power optimizations in Android settings for MQTT Client. When I try to publish an MQTT message, the notification disappears weirdly though the message is sent successfully. And it seems that incoming MQTT messages still received by Tasker, no disconnection events catched.

Probably this is a minor issue as it does not affect main functionality but it may cause Android OS to close the app to reduce power consumption.

Additional info: I'm using Android 8.1.0 and the beta version of MQTT Client, but the same behavior confirmed for stable version too.

Hey

I tested and am able to simulate the issue. Will be fixed in the next version.

Cheers!

I just installed the latest version 4.4.9 and when I try to go in any of the settings options, it brings me to the system app notifications for the mqtt client. Was this intended to be that way?

I am running the client on a Samsung S7 using Android 8.0.0.

In my case it displays 'General' and 'Notifications' but neither icon does anything

@jsetton thanks for pointing that out. It's a bug. Tapping on general should take you to the general settings screen. But tapping on Notifications will take you to the System notification settings screen if your android version is greater then Oreo.

@Bra1nK what's your android version?

[deepessh]

@jsetton this should be fixed in v4.5.0

[Bra1nK]

I'm on Android 8 0.0

[deepessh]

@Bra1nK should be fixed in 4.5.0

Closing as fixed.
