Remove Always Pinned Notification

Open ghost opened this issue 5 years ago • 5 comments

First of all,

Thanks for such a beautiful, robust & standalone irc client. Just one request is it possible to disable always on pinned notification but keeping it running in background like other im apps.

Regards.

Yes it is but only starting in Android 8. Go to Android notification settings for this app and disable the Status Notification.

On Nougat this isn't possible. Android will simply stop and kill the app (so you lose connection and won't receive new messages) if you don't show such a notification.

To prevent this, you could alternatively use a bouncer such as ZNC (or Weechat with Weechat-Android, or Quassel with Quasseldroid, or a hosted tool such as IRCCloud) on a server, connect your mobile IRC client to it, and then your client wouldn't have issues with the connection being ended anymore.

What could be done is lowering the notification priority on Nougat so that it is not shown as an icon in the status bar, I guess that should be added for Nougat and below.

Yeah, that would work (we do that in Quasseldroid as well) :)
