Option to disable push notifications. #32

Closed akt1n4 closed 1 year ago

I wish to have my notifications panel cluster-free, and I think its better to disable push notifications for new xkcd arrivals rather than via Android settings as I might miss some important notifications from the app otherwise. If using the Android settings is a better option, I an fine with it too.

(P.s : I like your app and find it hassle-free along with the offline and explainxkcd feature)

On a side note, having an about section in settings would be nice as it can have a github direct link.

If your phone is Android 8.0 above. The perferred option is to use Android notification channels to manage notification of an app.

There are 2 channels used in this app: xkcd and what if to send notification to when there is an update.

You can go to the App info page of this app in Android settings, at the bottom there is a section called notification category.

You can disable the channel of xkcd from there.

By doing so notifications from other apps won't be interrupted.

This is the most preferred option to me to manage app notification.

Even if I would add a notification control settings, I would redirect it to this page to let you turn it on/off from there.

Thanks for your likes and the "About" section suggestion.

Android 13 will require notification permission. It is default to be OFF and need to be explicitly requested.
