Icons in TaskBar since Android 4.3 #17

Since Android 4.3 for every new windows there is an icon showing up in the notification bar. Is there any idea how to improve this? When showing more than one interactive windows this clutters the notification bar a lot. Would it make any sense to enhance this lib using Accessibility Services or something else? Would it be possible to hook up the services that the windows require with other services that are already existing and running?

I faced a similar issue and was able to hook up the existing app notification (ongoing) to standout's notification, thus avoiding standout to throw it's own notification for every window.

Nice! I am looking for something similar. How have you done that?
