Replied Persistent Notification Not Cleared

Home Assistant Android version: 2022.11.0-full

Android version: 13

Phone model: Pixel 6

Home Assistant version: 2022.12.4

Last working Home Assistant release (if known):

Description of problem: Can not clear a persistent notification that has been replied. After replying there is a spinning loading symbol seemingly indefinitely. Then When I call clear_notification that symbol disappears and the reply shows inline. Calling clear_notification a second time does not do anything.

Call to create notification:

service: notify.mobile_app_amos_phone
data:
  message: Alarm
  data:
    tag: alarm
    persistent: true
    sticky: true
    actions:
      - action: REPLY
        title: Disarm with Pin

Call to clear notification:

service: notify.mobile_app_amos_phone
data:
  message: clear_notification
  data:
    tag: alarm

After sending clear_notification

Additional information:

If I have not replied to the notification, clearing works correctly.

Also if I send a new notification with the same tag it is replaced correctly.

I managed to change the code so that it updates the notification on reply instead of asking the system to remove it (which it doesn’t), which allows you to update/cancel it after entering a response like expected.

The only regression I’ve found is that it will now only show the latest reply, instead of x replies (the system decides how many to show, 1 to 3 in my testing). Would that create problems or be considered a breaking change?

confirmed to the user that it sent with its own update

Nope, if you remove the call to cancel the notification (onComplete()) it will keep spinning.
