deleting missed call notifications

Post by nbi » 17 Nov 2016 17:17

These notifications are so annoying and Marshmallow has no way to delete them based on specific notification type. To my surprise I didn't find a flow in the shared flows forum for this.

So I guess it's time to roll up sleeves and dig in. Here's my thoughts on a flow:

1. trigger on missed call
2. condition to save ID of missed call notification
3. action to remove notification corresponding to saved ID

Seems simple enough. Look good?

Ok, variable for Notification ID not necessary because "Remove Notification" can be tied to a specific app. Nicely done Martin.

But......
"Remove Notification" can only be tied to 1 (one) app. That's a bug IMHO. Why? Because the "Notification on Statusbar Displayed" condition allows multiple apps to be listed. It would be nice if the same apps could be listed in a subsequent "Remove Notification".

The workaround for this bug is obvious - one "Remove Notification" action for each of the apps listed in "Notification on Statusbar Displayed" condition. But that's awkward. I'll go ahead and file a bug report.

The good news is the original problem can easily be solved without too much effort.
Cheers.

UPDATE: I apparently screwed the pooch as there is an action "Remove Notification Missed Calls". Missed that when I looked at the web page. Duh. It renders this topic moot, but I still think the "Remove Notification" flaw is a bug.
