Option to have a persistent notification

[daniel-sousa-me]

Feature suggestion

A lot of manufacturers modify their versions of Android to be too eager to kill background services. Whenever I start playing media through other remote, Kore doesn't know it because it's usually not running.

I'd like to be able to have a persistent notification, like many other apps do, to tell Android not to kill the service.

Context

Lots of times I start playing media on my TV through my laptop because I'm finishing up something. But then I want to be able to easily control Kodi on my phone.

I know that opening Kore manually doesn't sound like too much work, but with this, I don't even have to unlock my phone. Also, when some media is playing, I have basic controls on my smartwatch. But that doesn't work if Kore isn't running.
