Originally created by @madiele on GitHub (Jun 25, 2022).

Steps to reproduce

start playback
no way to remove the notification without force stopping the app

Expected behaviour

when no playback is active the notification should be dismissable

Actual behaviour

The notification is never dismissable, even by closing the app

Environment data

Audiobookshelf Version: v2.0.22 - docker

Android App?
iOS App?

Android Issue

Android version: 0.9.49-beta

Device model: Pocopone F1 and Lenovo Tab M10 FHD plus

Stock or customized system: non stock LineageOS 16.0 (android 9) and Stock android 10

Possible fix

add a x (close) button to gracefully close the player (this method is also used by the stock youtube app, and many other apps with a player). Or allow to dismiss the notification on no playback like the spotify app.

We can look into adding an X, I'm not sure how they did that. However, the notification does go away when you close the app. Maybe you are just putting the app in the background and not actually closing it?

I tested it, you right it does go away if you close the app from the active app list! But it does not go away if you exit the app "the proper way" using the back button in the app or by manually choosing to close the player inside the app which is what I was doing.

Fixed the issue where closing the player in the app wasn't removing the notification. Updated the notification to include the stop button in 0.9.50-beta
