Qksms: Notifications disappear after reboot (recreate non-dismissed notifications on boot)

[digitalcircuit]

DESCRIPTION

• Recreate notifications on boot for any that had not been manually dismissed/swiped away
  
  
  
  • Avoids losing track of new messages due to phone rebooting
  
  
  • May need tracking flag to tell when notifications are manually dismissed to avoid recreating those
  
  

STEPS

1. Set up QkSMS and receive two text messages from two different conversations, triggering two notifications
2. Swipe away one conversation notification (not pressing Mark read), but leave the other notification intact
3. Reboot phone

EXPECTED

QkSMS listens for android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED and recreates the notifications it had open before the phone shut down, matching the behavior of e.g. GMail. The dismissed notification does not show up again.

OBSERVATIONS

QkSMS does not recreate the notifications, behaving as if the user had swiped away all notifications before shutting down their phone (including crashes leading to reboots when not paying attention, etc).

Additional

QkSMS already has the permissions and functionality in place to adjust scheduled message alarms on boot. This would need extended to recreate notifications that have not been manually dismissed via swiping away.

This might require an additional flag to track which notifications have been manually dismissed.
