It is often overlooked by devs, unfortunately.
But I see few working examples, like Discord, Telegram. -
A lot of them do, most notably Facebook's own notification list is hopelessly broken but they still clean up the Android notification list. Devs are just lazy most of the time.

just turn of Notifications.. who needs Devrant notifs anyway. Just open the app and look at all of them at once instead wasting time every 30 min

Yeah it's not a rant or personal problem I'm trying to solve (hence the question tag) —although it's kind of annoying.
Just wondering why, in a world where mobile operating system innovation seems to be slowing down because it's "feature complete", such a thing hasn't been fixed yet. -
@bittersweet i guess these apps want to make you addictive rather than making it good for you.. Even people working on gmail said that they were told/made it more addictive on purpose
Why do Android apps not clear their own irrelevant notifications?
For example: If I mark all notifs as read within the devRant app, or archive an email in Gmail, or read a message in the Jira app, why does it not clear the status bar notification?
Is there a good reason, or is it just often overlooked by developers to perform a cleanup action like this?
