Blyat. Actually finishing with the notifications themselves wasn't really that hard, there was less work than I thought. But instead what was hard, is god damn doing background shit in Android.
Fucking spent the entire day today (well, not wntire but something like 6h) trying ,any different ways to make the app "poll" in the background, checking the RSS for mentions, and after trying so many, fucking none of them work.
Also fuck the android docs so much. I fucking hate this platform(Android, nor dR).
So I guess no notifications in the background for now, only when in the app.
I'll do the "correct" thing and do the stupid Firebase thing, that will be for a future version tho. Ugggh, I could've been done by now if not for this stupid shit.

    Yup. They went hard on those things tightening the noose around them in recent OS versions.

    Very true. Mobile platforms tend to suck. Haven't seen any good dedicated games in years, too. In fact, the last time I saw anything of substance was the early era of Android w/ gems such as the 'Dead Space', 'Mass Effect Infiltrator', 'Chaos Rings' series, && 'Prince Of Persia The Shadow And The Flame'... which was around the 2013.
