[FRIAM] android is fucking spamy with "important" notifications

[uǝlƃ ☤>$]

Ugh. I sympathize. No answers, here. But I'll kvetch with you. For awhile, I just turned them all off. Even my clients have to *wait* until I'm ready to look at their messages. I'm too old to be "on call".

But recently, I've been trying to coerce Pandora to use it's erstwhile "music genome" to find, ya know, actual similar music ... as opposed to the stupid garbage other people Thumbs Up. My Nick Shoulders <https://www.nickshouldersokaycrawdad.com/> station is absolute crap. Obviously, Pandora can't detect good yodeling and whistling ... all I get are stupid steel guitar crooners with poser southern accents and Dolly Parton. [pfft] But, in that attempt, I turned notifications back on for Pandora and now the damned light stays on like all the damned time. And you can't even swipe the thing away. I have to go into settings and force stop the app ... which I happily do because `kill -9` is a fundamental human right.

Back when Lineage OS was ... oh, hell, what was it called? ... whatever ... it was easy to customize the notification light. I'm "this close" to rooting the damned phone again and loading a custom rom.
