I just discovered that, when I receive a new text message (SMS), click on notification bubble works: it opens Messages App to that specific message.
So I don't have to dismiss the notification or wait for it to time out and then open the drop-down notifications top menu and click on the specific notification, but instead I can directly click (tap) on the notification bubble the moment I see it.
So it seems that this is a bug - that it doesn't behave like this for Dekko, Greenline, etc.
@gpatel-fr Oh, wow, I would have never thought of checking after a restart...
Let me just link that here: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/12289/changing-message-sound-requires-restart
@gpatel-fr Oh, noooo, not at all, I'm not that deep or intense 
I just don't trust myself. I am quite tired and confused these days. I mean I tested it with Dekko, I tested with bubbles and with notifications but maybe I missed something. Who knows?... That is why I would feel better if someone else would confirm it for 16.04 - so that it would not be my experience only.
Maybe @projectmoon and @kristatos can confirm? - @kristatos, you don't need to insert a sim, you just need to connect to wifi and then receive an email while having Dekko2 installed...
No click on notification bubbles, please.
I don't want to get you upset, I am not trying to convince anybody of anything, I am just trying to understand... but it seems as if I touched a sensitive issue here: why are you against click on notification bubbles? - especially since you have them disabled, then it would not affect you in any way. Or will that somehow make the OS worse / slow / etc? - as I said, I am just trying to understand. Thank you.
I found my old phone (Meizu Pro5) with 16.04. I can confirm that I can click on the bubble when I receive a new email and it opens Dekko2.
@gpatel-fr Great find!
I don't know where to search but maybe we need to inspect the code in the OS for handling the bubble.
Some time ago I had to write a service worker for browsers and I had to specifically program what it is done when a notification is clicked.
@CiberSheep That could actually work as a workaround solution: to disable bubbles and enable notifications sound: this way I am notified that there is a new message / email but I don't have to wait for the bubble to disappear before I scroll down the notifications list and click on the notification. However, this introduces an extra step: to turn on the screen by pressing the power button.
What I was looking for is a simple, direct, straight forward way of being notified and then opening that specific app.
I also have to explain a detail about my context: I don't have a passcode or fingerprint reader enabled, so I don't have these extra steps of unlocking the phone.
So just speaking from the user point of view, not developer:
Right now, there is a notification bubble that the user can interact with by swiping it away and this notification bubble also has a time out - it disappears by itself.
Then, there is the notification in the notification list - this notification has a "load" - like info about what app to open and some other info that is passed to the app. The user can interact with this notification by tapping on it - then the UI opens that specific app and passes that specific info to the app.
My question is: can't the "load" be included in the notification bubble as well? And then the UI adds the possibility for the user to interact with the bubble by tapping on it.
@brenno.almeida Amazing work, thank you so much!
One thing I noticed - and I don't think it has only started in this latest version - is that if I open a conversation from the app and not from the notification then the notification doesn't dissapear - I think I remember it used to.
Tapping the notification should just execute the notification handler
You mean "tapping the notification bubble"?
@gpatel-fr Yes, I think talking about this in a forum is healthy and helps me (maybe others too) understand what others are thinking because it may not in the end be something that is desired...
I guess my first intention in asking the initial question was to see if this is an expected behaviour or it was rather supposed to work and it doesn't anymore.
So I understand that it was never meant (yet) to work this way - to click on the bubble and open the app that the bubble reffers to.
Then, I guess, I tried to ask if this is something that would be desired.
Then, I guess again, in case that would be a good idea, it would be the question if that is something that can be done.
I mean, it would be nice just to click on the first thing that wakes the screen up and take you to the app, wouldn't it? - and that first thing is the bubble...
@gpatel-fr So you mean that it is not a UT issue but an app issue? - because in this case I need to address the issue on each app...
The click on notification bubble doesn't work - is it a bug or a feature?
This is something that I find it would be very helpful - to be able to open the app imediately when I click on the bubble.
Right now I have to wait for the bubble to dissapear, I open to top scroll-down menu and I click on the notification to open the specific app: eg. Dekko, Greenline.
@gpatel-fr I just tested it now with sms and it works - it uses the new selected Meesage sound.
So it is only for notifications from apps (like Dekko, Greenline) that the Message sound is not updated unless a reboot.
It starts to sound more like a bug?
@gpatel-fr Yes, but what about the Message sound?
When I change Message sound in the Settings, it is only after a complete restart that this is taking effect. Not even a Lomiri restart makes a difference, it needs a complete reboot.
Is that only on my Oneplus 10G? - should I move this to my specific device forum?
