I have that common use case to send a notif to my phone in case of critical alerts.
I’m actually using the alert integration for this, and send a sticky notification.
Now, that notification is extremely sticky 
How can you remove it al all (barred killing the app)?
Please post the code from the alert… 
Maybe you have can_acknowledge set to false? And how do you try to “get rid of it”?
You know it, more details, more details, more details… 
Yeah, yeah 
Actually, I got confused.
sticky only means that the notif will stay if tapped. It doesn’t prevent to swipe it away.
What prevents the notif to be dismissed is persistent, and the doc is clear regarding how to dismiss those.
Thanks
