Bug ID: 520838
Summary: Notification feedback loop when both receive and send
notifications plugins are enabled
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect
Version First 26.04.1
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: desktop-application

example
When KDE Connect is configured to both receive Android notifications on Plasma
and send desktop notifications back to Android, notifications mirrored from
Android are treated as normal
desktop notifications and sent back to the same Android device. This creates
duplicate notifications on the phone.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Pair Android phone with KDE Connect on Plasma.
2. Enable "Receive notifications" / "Show device's notifications on this
computer".
3. Enable "Send notifications" / "Broadcast this computer's notifications".
4. Receive any Android notification, for example WhatsApp.
5. Observe the phone notification shade.
OBSERVED RESULT
The phone shows the original Android notification, plus a second KDE Connect
notification containing the same content.
EXPECTED RESULT
Notifications generated by KDE Connect because they were mirrored from the
phone should not be sent back to the same phone.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Connect: 26.04.1
KDE Plasma: 6.x
Distro: CachyOS / Arch-based
Phone: Android, KDE Connect paired via LAN
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Locally I confirmed that mirrored Android notifications appear on the desktop
with application icon/source "kdeconnect". I worked around the issue by
patching the desktop
sendnotifications plugin so NotificationsListener::checkApplicationName()
returns false when iconName == "kdeconnect". That prevents the loop while still
allowing real desktop
notifications to be sent to Android.
