Android 16 could add a new API that lets apps create Rich Ongoing Notifications, reminiscent of the iPhone’s Dynamic Island.

    If it worked well it’s really nice. The problem is apps in the background tend to not update it as often as it should. So sometimes I’ll have a weather alert that’s 30 minutes old, along with a notification saying “please open the app for more updated info”.

      I thought it was only me who was seeing stale data there. It’s just a persistent notification, but it was marketed beautifully. It seems to have the same problems and benefits of persistent notifications. Sometimes I will get rideshare apps leaving up their notifications long past their usefulness too.
