Please consider adding a note that non-dismissible notifications need a manual command.

Hello.

I really like that you use setOngoing for BasicSync's notifications, so that I won't accidentally dismiss it, and always know if Syncthing is running.

However, since Android 14, non-dismissible notifications require a permission, and if this permission is not given, notifications are by default dismissible.

Unfortunately, there is no GUI for this permission, but it can be given from adb or other command-line:

appops set --uid com.chiller3.basicsync SYSTEM_EXEMPT_FROM_DISMISSIBLE_NOTIFICATIONS allow

Yes, just one command. Please, consider adding a note about this into a readme, or adding a label with a warning about this into the app. Thank you!

Actually, I might be able to make this work even better. I think I can make the app automatically resend the notification if it gets dismissed. I'll investigate after work today to see if that's feasible.

Ah whoops, I'll fix that later today when I add support for automatically resending the notification if it's dismissed.

FYI: If you have root and LSPosed setup - you can use this LSPosed module to "revert" this Android 14+ change, so setOngoing (to be correct - any non-dismissable/foreground-service) notifications will actually work as you expect for all applications using it instead of just those, for which appop is added.

This works at least till Android 16 QPR0, not sure (do not remember) about newer QPRs, but most probably should just work for those too.

I was very happy, when I've found this one, as I was constantly dismissing notifications I need to be persistent/pinned 😅

Not sure about the author, but I kinda like the appop, because some apps are badly written and create meaningless no dismissible notification. Having a per-app control is nice.
