I released BubbleBeats last week.  I asked some people I know for
feedback.  A few said "how come you cannot turn it off?".  One of my
comments was "I removed the app because I could not turn it off."  One
of these people is an Android developer!

The reason people think they cannot "turn it off" is two fold ...
first, they don't understand that you don't turn things off in Android
... fair enough.

Perhaps more importantly ... my app gives the impression that it
cannot be turned off because its notification uses FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT.
 The reason I did this was because BubbleBeats is a music player, and
the notification displays the name of the most recently picked song
whether it is paused or not.  When you select the notification, it
takes you to that bubble/song.  This makes sense to me.

My question ... am I using this flag incorrectly?  Does it matter if
the impact gives users the impression that they cannot close my app?

I would really appreciate any feedback anyone out there may have.

Thank You,
