AutoNotification Priority setting doesn't work as expected

Hi,

Trying out AutoNotifications (triggered via Tasker) and I want to set a Button notification to always be at the top of the notification stack.

From the documentation, setting the value of the `Priority` option to MAX should achieve this, but it doesn't have that effect - instead the Notification takes a middling position in the stack with other notifications often taking precedence above it.

I've looked at the Taker XML and using the MAX priority option gives a numerical value of `2` to the notification. Based on the documentation, that's the pre-API 24 standard of notifications having values between -2 and 2 (incl.). According to the post-API 24 documentation, priority should have values between 0 and 5 (incl.), set using the newer `NotificationChannel.setImportance(int)` method call (
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/NotificationChannel.html#setImportance(int)).

Manually hacking the Tasker XML to use a value of 5 results in a crash.

- Is setting Notification Priority to MAX and having the notification appear in the middle of the notification stack expected behavior?

- Is there a work-around to permanently force a notification to the top of the stack when it's being displayed?

- What's the likelihood of this being fixed, and what's the probable ETA?

Many Thanks,

 

My device is a Nexus 6P running Android 8.1. I'm aware that it's a few years old but it has support for the newer version of the API.

I already had a vibration pattern and sound set, but the notification's still of middling priority.

 

That is a whole new category of setting I didn't previously know existed.

Yep, I've upgraded it's Importance via the Android Notification settings menus and it works better now. It's still getting overtaken by other applications but I think that's just to be expected.

Thanks for the help, that's more of less sorted that out for me (or at least gives me more options to play with).

Cheers
