Apps can set background/text color for Notifications

[lainsce]

For example, if one changes the Music playing, the album art dictates colours for the Notification in for ex. Android:

May need some modifications in code in apps and the Notification Center, but I think this is a good idea.

Hm, on Android it is actually the OS that sets the background and foreground color afaik, because it does this for all media-playback-type notifications using the color palette API. I believe apps may also be able to set some styling, but I'm not sure how that interacts with the system-wide dark style.

I have no way of knowing Android's global dark styling interactions because I have no phones with Android 10. 😞

I'm personally -1 on this. I don't think the results are very good looking and it seems odd to single out music notifications

[lainsce]

Music was just an example. Anything that would be sane to have colored notifications would benefit from this.

Another good example is with critical notifications like "Battery is critically low", maybe using our warning colors? 🖌️

@lainsce that's already something we can do with the priority levels set by notifications today, if we wanted. But that seems pretty aggressive.

In master critical notifications have red title text

Looking back on it, this was a dumb idea tbh
