Bug ID: 457181
Summary: KDE Connect android app does not push all
notifications to desktop
Product: kdeconnect
Version: unspecified
Platform: Android
OS: Unspecified
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: android-application
Assignee: albertv...@gmail.com
Reporter: chemistu...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
It is a well-known inconvenience of KDE Connect android app. Some apps, for
example, [wechat](https://weixin.qq.com) notifications are not pushed to
desktop. The notifications appear at the phone side and nothing happened on
desktop side.
The code is in NotificationsPlugin.java, line #192. For some reason, those
notifications are with flag FLAG_LOCAL_ONLY, so that KDE Connect android app
filters them off.
```java
if ((notification.flags & Notification.FLAG_FOREGROUND_SERVICE) != 0
|| (notification.flags & Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT) != 0
|| (notification.flags & Notification.FLAG_LOCAL_ONLY) != 0
|| (notification.flags & NotificationCompat.FLAG_GROUP_SUMMARY)
!= 0 //The notification that groups other notifications
)
{
//This is not a notification we want!
return;
}
```
The workaround is remove line #192, and recompile the app from source.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install and configure KDE Connect android app.
2. Some notifications of phone apps popped up, and nothing happened to desktop
KDE Connect or gsconnect.
OBSERVED RESULT
Notifications with FLAG_LOCAL_ONLY are not pushed to desktop.
EXPECTED RESULT
Notifications with FLAG_LOCAL_ONLY should be pushed to desktop, or leave the
choice to the user whether they should be pushed.
