Notification confusing to dismiss

[remulasce]

You have to swipe-expand the notification, then hit cancel, because it's an 'active notification' that doesn't get swiped away.

Android doesn't do a good job of teaching people to expand notifications, so if you don't know how to do it it's confusing.

Obvious way to solve this is to allow swipe-to-dismiss. I initially had usability issues because I kept accidentally dismissing the thing, but it may be better for it to be easily dismissable. Dismissing the notification wouldn't turn off the underlying service, but there may be a simple callback that will do that.

Option 2 is to increase the priority of the notification even higher. This should automatically expand the notification more often, which would be an improvement.

Upped the priority, notification seems to be constantly expanded, as intended. Though, you can no longer shrink it without it expanding back.

Good enough. Closing.
