Apps-android-commons: Notification makes an alarm(beep) every time when uploading / DeleteTask progress updated

[zhao-gang]

Summary:

When uploading a file, notification makes a sound every time the uploading progress updated. Which is very annoying.

System logs:

The current notification also generate some system error logs like:

2019-02-28 12:33:22.138 796-796/? E/NotificationService: Muting recently noisy 0|fr.free.nrw.commons.beta|1|null|10398

Device and Android version:

Nexus 6P(with Android Oreo) and Pixel 2 XL(with Android Pie) have above issue.

Commons app version:

master betaDebug

Would you like to work on the issue?

Yes

I have never noticed that, but I remember someone talking about it.

Still happens, on current master with API 26 emultor

The previous fix used setOnlyAlertOnce to let the notification only alert once. It fixed the repeating alert on some devices with API level 27/28. I searched "setOnlyAlertOnce api 26" on the web and didn't find any interesting results.

Unfortunately I don't have the environment to test this issue on API 26 emulator. Hope above information can help to resolve this issue on API 26 emulator.

Thanks @zhao-gang it was helpful!

Hi @neslihanturan , I'm new to contributing to OSS and I'd like to help with fixing this issue.

However, I tried this on the current master branch and API 25 emulator, but it seems I'm unable to repro it while uploading the file (not yet tested on deletion); there's no notification sound for me. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but may I know the current status of this issue?

@andrew-tc Could you please try with API 26 emulator?
