The rationale for my request:

I only use kdeconnect on rare occasions, mostly to transfer a file. Once I am done I close everything again so it is not in my way and I have a clean environment. But on Android, there is now a permanent notification for the running service. So I have to go to settings→Apps→(wait for it to load the whole list)→scroll down to KDE Connect→force close it to get rid of the notification. This process in itself keeps me from using it more often, resorting to SFTP for file transfer.

My currently installed version is 1.16.0 from F-Droid.

Thanks for your consideration.
