So, we don't have to request the Notifications permission for now, if we only want to show the Notification while we're running tests in the background. For Android 33+, if we don't have the permission, the app will appear running on the Task Manager (Source).
Nevertheless, I do feel our notification conveys much better that a test is being run by the OONI app. It tells what the app is doing (running tests), what test, how long it will take, and has a button to stop it.
So maybe we still want to ask for the notifications permission for Android 33+ users.
