Persistent notification channel

[sharmav39]

First of all, thank you for building this app. It solves a huge annoyance.

One suggestion is that currently, the persistent notification uses the same channel as forwarded messages. This prevents me from being able to minimize the notification.

I think this should be relatively straightforward to resolve by putting the persistent notification in its own channel.

Hey @sharmav39 , That is not the case in my opinion. The persistent notification's channel is not the issue I think. It has to do with the fact that the work-app who created the persistent notification, is responsible for deleting it. Unfortunately, WorkNotifier deletes the original notification to replace it with the one generated by the worknotifier code. This often means that we loose the ability to get informed about the work-app deleting its persistent notification.

Will try to find a work-around for this. Also, thanks for your update, and your support for the project! : )

There are separate issues regarding regenerating a new notification, which is hard to work around. But I silence and minimize all of my persistent notifications, so that they show up very small at the bottom of the list and the logo is not always shown at the top of my screen.

However because both the persistent notification and the rebroadcast notifications come on the same channel, minimizing / silencing the persistent notification does the same to all rebroadcast notifications. If they were in separate channels, I could minimize the persistent notification, while normal rebroadcast notifications are not minimized.

Ah, got you now! Definitely something that could be useful. Will include this in the next release. Thanks! : )
