Android 13 Notification Permission

See original GitHub issue

Android 13 (SDK 33) needs apps to declare a new permission: https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/notificationsnotification-permission

Declare: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS">

Request permission if not granted (which isn’t to new apps on Android 13).

Check if notification channel is allowed before sending notifications to it: NotificationManager#areNotificationsEnabled()

they can’t rid of the persistent notification…at least they should like it.

They should just minimize the notification. After all, the persistent notification is the easiest way to pause or stop the service if necessary.

Well I’m missing the notification, too. I silenced and minimized it, sent it down to all the other notifications I don’t want to see permantently. Nevertheless I’d just like to be able to see it - and be able to have the “Pause” and “Resume” buttons available. Sometimes this is needed.

What’s worse, it seems the “Allow or block” notification for newly installed apps doesn’t seem to work either.
