Google Clock app timer notification shows "Empty - Clock" #28

Closed dustinkerstein closed 2 years ago

dustinkerstein commented 2 years ago

When setting a timer in the Google Clock app, the notification in the pulldown Android Notification Drawer shows a live ticking timer countdown:

Clock
mm:ss
Timer

Whereas AIO's Notification widget shows "Empty - Clock"

To Reproduce

  1. install the Google Clock app
  2. Set a timer
  3. Note the discrepancy between the Notification Drawer and AIO Notification widget

Expected behavior I'm not sure if AIO can support dynamic notifications like the timer countdown, but that would be ideal. If not, maybe an option to suppress these types of notifications would be a reasonable workaround.

Google Clock uses RemoteViews in its notification, in fact it is a widget that is built into the notification. The AIO Launcher does not show such notifications, because they would create mush in the interface. At the same time, I can't not show them because I have to give users the option to swipe such a notification. Maybe I should make an option to skip such notifications.

Thanks for the quick update. I'd vote for an option to skip these types of notifications. I think that's a very reasonable solution.
