Bug ID: 438781
Summary: Updating notification silently on Android makes them
pop up on desktop
Product: kdeconnect
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Android 11.x
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: android-application
Assignee: albertv...@gmail.com
Reporter: jatjas...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
When a notification is silently updated on Android, it appears on the desktop
as a new notification.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. on Android 11, open People¹, say “hi” to Cat, minimize app
2. when Cat says “Meow”, press the “open bubble” button in the notification
¹ https://github.com/android/user-interface-samples/tree/main/People
OBSERVED RESULT
The same notification appears on desktop twice. (Opening a bubble results in a
notification being reposted with setOnlyAlertOnce(true), among other things.)
EXPECTED RESULT
The notification does not pop up on desktop or make sound
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 2004 (19041.1052)
Android: 11, LineageOs 18.1; also reported on Android 6
App: 1.17.0 (org.kde.kdeconnect_tp)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
There are some ways you can update a notification silently:
* post a notification with flag FLAG_ONLY_ALERT_ONCE, that is normally set
by calling setOnlyAlertOnce(true). If the notification already exists,
it is updated silently; otherwise, it pops up according to its
notification channel settings. This is the most “standard” way of
updating notifications silently on Android, but some app, especially
those targeting older Android versions, can choose the method below,
as it allows posting *new* notifications silently.
* post to a notification channel with low importance (< IMPORTANCE_HIGH),
no sound or vibration, etc. Telegram, WhatsApp use this.
* before Android O (< API 26), don't set high priority (> PRIORITY_HIGH),
sound or lights
