This behavior might be seen when you use local notification plugin in combination with phonegap-push plugin. phonegap-plugin-push by default clear all pending notifications when the app go in pause. To fix this behavior, just set the clearNotifications to “false”:

var push = PushNotification.init({ android: { clearNotifications:"false" } });

@rwillett yes, maybe when the app is starting it works so, but notification get removed once app getting to the background mode. That’s the main problem.

BTW, I tested in iOS and it works as expected. When I preseed “home”, application got into background and notification still present in notifications area. Then I locked and unlocked iOS - notification still there. I closed and re-ran application - notification has not been removed. It still visible in notifications area until user manually remove it.

For Android, once application lose focus - all notifications are getting removed.

UPD: Tested with autoClear: false - nothing changed I consulted with Android developer and he confirmed - this is not default behaviour and sent me a link with quotes

A notification is a message that Android displays outside your app’s UI to provide the user with reminders, communication from other people, or other timely information from your app.

A notification remains visible in the notification drawer until dismissed by the app or the user.

Notifications provide short, timely, and relevant information about your app when it’s not in use.

So in current implementation for android 8 notification are quite useless.

Also in example there is a notification on locked screen, but currently if I will lock screen - notification will disappear.
