What is the Purpose of Android Permanent Notification?

No need to remind you the importance of notifications on Android. These little alerts are now part of our daily life. They have become inseparable from smartphones in the same way as the camera function.

Unfortunately, a good part of these alerts turn out to be intrusive and annoying in everyday life. This is the case, for example, of permanent notifications which, unlike traditional alerts, cannot be erased from the phone’s screen.

These alerts (most often silent) appear when an application working in the background is launched (VPN, password manager, sports activity tracking application, antivirus). They are used to warn you that an application is continuously using resources in the background (including battery power).

This information can be particularly useful for managing the autonomy of your phone. Without it, it’s impossible to know that an application is using a lot of your smartphone’s battery. However, over time, permanent notifications can also be annoying, taking up unnecessary space on the Android lock screen.
