Oreo: Stop notification from getting removed on swipe

Question

My Code:

mNotifyBuilder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_status_bar)
                .setContentTitle("")
                .setOngoing(true)
                .setAutoCancel(false)
                .setTicker("")
                .setColor(ContextCompat.getColor(mContext, R.color.folderlist_bg_music))
                .setChannelId(CHANNEL_ID)
                .setContent(remoteViews).build();

Working fine on other phones, but not working on Vivo V7. On first swipe the notification is removed and it reappears. But on second swipe, it dismisses completely.

start a dummy foreground Service ...this will persist the notification while it's running.

A foreground service performs some operation that is noticeable to the user. For example, an audio app would use a foreground service to play an audio track. Foreground services must display a Notification. Foreground services continue running even when the user isn't interacting with the app.

@user1517153 it might be a poor oreo build; people complain about the display driver, too... possibly it might also have a vendor-specific notification system; eg. alike MIUI has. – Martin Zeitler Oct 29 '18 at 10:02

Option 1: You need to do the following way:

builder.setOngoing(true);

Option 2:

Notification notification = new Notification(icon, tickerText, when);
notification.flags = Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT;

Option 3:

NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =

                     new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)

                    .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_service_launcher)

                    .setContentTitle("My title")

                    .setOngoing(true)  

                    .setContentText("Small text with details");

Honestly, I am very much disappointed with Vivo, their OS is actually very unpredictable. Other applications are wont to be able to do the same. You need to lock the application if you want an application to work fine. Vivo generally closes the background services of the application. You may try by installing any alarm application it will behave the same. Even the alarm will not work. :( – aanshu Oct 29 '18 at 09:56
The behaviour of the Vivo is very uncertain for Microsoft applications as well. Even the outlook application does not work properly. – aanshu Oct 29 '18 at 10:05
I would advise not to waste your time for Vivo – aanshu Oct 29 '18 at 10:05

Try adding this:

notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_NO_CLEAR;

You can try the following:

builder.setOngoing(true); // Can't cancel your notification (except notificationManager.cancel(); )

Refer to this Ongoing notification

This is phone specific issue. Same thing works for other phones but not for Vivo phones. OEMs shouldn't deviate from basic implementation that has been provided by stock Android.
