Is there any plan to support MessagingStyle Notification on android like communication Notification on iOS?

[kdwkr]

I know that already notifee is supporting MessagingStyle Notification.

But it doesn't showing like Communication Notification on iOS

After i searching about it, i found it need to set ShorcutInfo and longLived option of ShortcutInfo to true.

I will upload the patch file for this soon. I hope it can be support on this library

For patch @notifee/react-native

Nothing special. just patches for passing options to native code (NotifeeCore)

@notifee-react-native-npm-7.8.2-b551bc6447.patch
