feature request: permanent notification

[iddq]

Please make the .setOngoing property of the notification remotely accessible.

Describe your use-case. The android docs specify that "the application or service must take care of canceling them". How do you envision this? https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Notification.Builder#setOngoing(boolean)

When creating the notification, we would provide the ID, which we could later use in a cancel request and thus revoke the previously created notification, regardless of whether it is permanent or not. Controllability of setAutoCancel would also be useful.

The permanent notification is advantageous because the user cannot delete it. Revoking a notification remotely can also be useful in certain situations. Sorry if your program already knows this, but I haven't noticed it yet.

Hmm, I don't think many users need this, let's wait for some feedback from other users.
