Describe the feature request

If I go to the notification settings of my app, there is a category for Amplify Transfer Channel. I would want to avoid showing this category to my end user. Is there any way I could do so?

Transfer channel notification is added to start foreground service to enable background transfer. One possible work-around could be to remove foreground service permission from the app manifest which will not start foreground service and hence not display notification. Detailed reply on that could be found here

@sdhuka Thanks for your reply! It makes sense. Then what I think would be interesting is that we could personalize the notification configuration (image, text, category name, etc). Is this something included as a potential feature in your roadmap?

@pcanas We have release Amplify Library for Android v2.0.0, which no longer uses the Foreground Service notification.
