Android app shows ntfy icon at top even when there are no notifications

[chrisco484]

💡 Idea
Currently on Android the ntfy icon is always present if the app is installed/running - even when there are no active notifications.

When I expand all notifications I can normally slide left to acknowledge most notifications and they disappear but the nfty one can not be removed.

This is rather annoying because I normally only like to see icons in the top bar when there are active/unacknowledged notification that require my attention.

Most other apps like FB, Whatsapp, LinkedIn, GMail etc., appear to implement this 'convention' of 'if you don't see an app's icon in the top bar then there's no notifications associated with the app' but unfortunately ntfy does not appear to follow this convention and its icon is present in the top bar even if there are no active notifications - unless there's a configuration setting that I'm missing?

In recent Android versions, you can hide the persistent notification at a system settings level. What Android version are you using?

You should be able to just swipe the notification away. Also, if you long press the notification, and click on the gear/settings icon in the corner, it should bring you to the notification settings page where you can hide the notification entirely.
