Notification cannot actually be properly hidden in Android 9
Issue
In the notification settings Fedilab has a button and explanation to hide the main notification (that seems to exist to circumvent the Android app killig).
Steps for reproducing the issue
- Settings -> notifications -> hide Fedilab notification bar
- Click button
- You get to this screen:
Problem: There is no such option to disable.
Proposed solution
Other apps AFAIK do it in the way that they have a custom notification channel "permanent notification" and the user can then disable showing this notification channel. Then the app keeps running because of a notification that is not shown, but actually works.
