This may have already been requested but i think it would be a perfect app if 
you could swipe away notifications like the stock notifications bar 

Also - tasker's persistent notification doesn't seem to appear for me

Unfortunately android widgets are not capable using swipe gestures. I'm looking 
for an hack to do this using app who draws over the screen but currently there 
is no solution for that.

That is unfortunate but makes sense why you haven't incorporated it.

Wonder if you made it more of a launcher type app instead of a widget? Like lmt 
or some of the Ubuntu dock / side drawer clones.

Then it could run on top of your home screen etc and have the slide 
functionality and maybe even more that aren't possible with the widget. ?

May be a big undertaking rewriting it that though.

What if you added a button to the right or something that would clear the 
notification instead of launching the notifocation's app. Sometimes the 
notification is all the info needed to see.

For me I'd rather get rid of the application icon on the left. Have a delete 
icon or something to the right. Or have it customizable as to which side the 
new, let's say, "action" button could be on. Since I primarily use my right 
thumb to navigate I would prefer the right side but others may not.

Just some ideas. Love the app already, but everything can always improve

Are you aware that you can click on the notification icon to show the action 
bar that contains an X button that clear the notification?

Yes and that is great but it requires another step versus just swiping it away 
or clicking an x right there. What if you made that menu static in expanded 
mode or a new mode?
