every app wanted to have its own persistent notification
When? Which apps? I’ve been using Android since KitKat and I only remember persistent notifications by apps that needed them (to keep working, stay in memory).
That said, I agree that a permission would be nice, as I am skeptical of the use cases shown in the article mockups. I think it should stay an ongoing notification thing as anything else would indeed take more space.
I used to have a lot of apps back then that would use them as advertisement banners, it was really annoying. I forget when it happened but I’ve been using Android since honeycomb so I’ve seen a lot
