Can't you hide the service message?

No, because a foreground service is running in the background

@morpheus19900

If I close the app by swiping left, the app gets notifications even if it's not in the app list in the multitasking menu. And it works!

Which means, your app is still active in the foreground

While if I close all the apps from the multitasking menu with the "X", the notifications no longer work and the service message does not remain and closes

This is not how it should be

Thanks to @Taifun and @TIMAI2 because with this information you gave me I solved the problem . At first I applied some restrictions regarding energy saving. After that I enabled Autostart in background. Also for the service notification that remained permanent I simply had to disable the persistent notifications in the notifications.

Now I have to implement some conditions in the blocks to make sure that only the "message" node is notified because having set up other nodes that do other things for which I am not interested in receiving notifications, currently despite the configuration of the blocks that I sent you before, I continue to receive notifications even from other nodes that are not "message".

I'm taking advantage of this topic to not open another one since my doubt is always about notifications. How can I make it so that when a notification appears if I touch the notification the app opens? I'm not talking about the service notification, but the one that warns me that there has been a change in the Firebase data. Thanks in advance.

Thanks. In the "to notification" instructions just set the intent.

The process is:

• Take the set MelonNotification1.Intent to block
• Then hook the call MelonNotification1.CreateIntent block on the right side.
  Fill in the fields, name: enter the name of the screen you want to open (e.g. "Screen1")`
  startValue (optional): if you want to pass a value to the screen.

I typed it here, so if anyone needs it they can read it.
