notification for foreground service is noisy
(This issue is delayed due to signup approval and me getting around to it.)
Issue
After installing Fedilab (from f-droid, a week or two ago) and configuring it, I enabled live notifications. That caused an android notification about the "foreground service" that was then running in the background. That's fine and I get why, etc. However, the notification was noisy, and it should have been silent. Sound should be reserved for things that are important and urgent for the human to know promptly, like incoming personal messages. A notification required by policy that the app is using a foreground service to not be killed after I told it to listen to incoming data in the background is neither important nor urgent; it is merely required by policy.
Steps for reproducing the issu
Install fedilab from f-droid on CalyxOS (June 2021). In prefs, configure live notifications.
