Add option to make reminder notifications sticky

[leotaku]

• [x] I have searched for existing issues that may be the same as or related to mine.

I would like to see an option that allows me to make the Scheduled, Deadline and Event notifications sticky.

The problem I am facing is that when using Orgzly to track my tasks, I often mistakenly swipe away the reminder notification instead of pressing the snooze button or just ignoring the notification. (Clear all notifications is also an issue) This currently means that I am no longer reminded of said TODO item. In turn, I often find myself manually check the app to make sure I have not forgotten something important.

I think adding an option to make these notifications sticky would be a good solution to this problem. Loop Habit Tracker, another great open source habit manager, also implements this feature.

Thank you for your hard work on Orgzly!

I have the same problem. There should be a button to refresh all notifications, and a configuration setting to refresh them periodically as frequently as the user wants (or doesn't want auto-refresh).

This is especially problematic for reminders with repeaters. For instance, if a "pay monthly bill" notification is unintentionally removed, it won't be shown again next month (or ever).

In addition to accidentally clearing / swiping away notifications, all the current notifications are lost when the phone crashes / reboots (which happens often enough on some devices, e.g. replicant).

It would be good to have an option to make all new notifications "sticky". That is, a notification should not get removed from the notification drawer until it is explicitly snoozed, rescheduled or marked as done.

As part of this:

• If the sticky option is enabled, don't dismiss the notification on clicking the notification body.
• Recreate non-managed notifications on startup.

Thanks for the development. It is essential for example for medicinal therapy.
