Issue:
The app refuses to function when notifications are disabled. This is problematic in situations where the user needs to record audio discreetly — for example, for personal safety or documentation purposes.
Displaying a notification with a microphone icon or "Recording in progress" text can alert others and compromise the user's intent, potentially creating risk or unwanted consequences.
Expected behavior:
The app should allow recording without requiring visible notifications. Alternatively, a "stealth mode" could be implemented where the notification remains active system-wise but is hidden from the user interface (e.g., using a NotificationChannel with minimal importance or suppressed UI).
Question:
Is it possible to enable recording without mandatory notifications, or at least make them less visible? Why does the app enforce notification visibility if recording can technically proceed without it?
