title on banner notification

[annihat]

Hi, could you put an app-name or at least an icon on the banner notification, please? "Background Tracer Service" doesn't identify it as "UUID 0xFD6F Scanner" so is meaningless

While you're there, the reason I tracked down the source – a banner with [Start scan] lasting about a second & immediately replaced with one saying [Stop scan] seems daft & is definitely annoying, especially as it's repeated every minute.

I would like to see an [abandon this banner] button on both with an option to reinstate them in [settings], please

As a workaround I'm going to deny permission to display banners (I have Android 10 so this is possible) but I worry that there may be useful banners being denied.

Would you mind providing a screenshot what you actually mean? Here on my Android11 I see always a B/W App Icon in the top bar of the phone and the sticky notification has a title with the AppName and it's icon.

But since each OS provider might hide certain information it could be the case, that in your os there is no title or icon - therefore a screenshot could be come handy.

Concerning your suggestion to add an option to hide/show the notification - This is actually not possible to my best knowledge - when you want to run a service in the background you need to show a Sticky-Notification (making the user aware that there is 'something' running).

just in case - this is how the notification is indented to look like - app icon + app title + title

So it would be kind, if you could let me know/see what you currently get - TIA

Oops, sorry, I hadn't noticed that the app takes over the status bar to display it's name, I was just looking at the popup banner. @marq24 your banner does display the app name & icon as requested

It's just the popup banner I want to get rid of, the pair that say [START SCAN] & [STOP SCAN] respectively, particularly as the [START SCAN] one is completely redundant.

So just double checking...

1) The issue with the missing title and icon is solved? - right? 2) I hope it's also explained, why there have to be a notification present "all the time" (while the service is running in the background) and there there is no option to turn this off. - right?

and this is more a question of curiosity - I have tried on my Pixel3/Android 11 to find an option/setting to get a notification style like the one you have provided the screenshot from (the red stuff)... But I was not successful...

Same thing is happening to me now. App version 0.9.1.17 on Samsung Galaxy S9+ running Android 10

I also noticed the threshold markers never update, they always just say 0. Battery optimization is disabled and notifications have high priority so I'm not sure why it's not working like it used to.

@doctor-owl this looks like that the Background service is not running at all... there could so so many reasons why this is happening - I'll guess you already tried to reboot the phone?
