That's not so great because now you don't know when an app is running in the background.
It also makes it harder for notifications you actually do want to persist like OPs - I use AccuBatterry and don't want to be able to dismiss by accident.
we've always had plenty of apps running in the background that don't use notifications
I think notifications should never persist. There should be an entirely different UI concept for apps that need to have information displayed at all times - like a widgets drawer or shade. Having a notification displayed at all times defeat the purpose of a notification, which should be an ephemeral / momentary display of information, usually time-sensitive.
Not true. This shows at the bottom of the notification shade, tells you how long the app has been running a service and lets you stop it.
Oohh thanks! TIL. Now I wonder if I need Samsung Health to be always on, to be honest...
