SUMMARY In android 12+ the notification filter no longer shows all installed apps when asking which notifications to show. The prevents disabling notification syncing for most Apps. The syncing itself sees all notifications even if the app is not listed in the settings STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT * Should see all installed apps as in android 11.
Is this still the case with the latest version? I can't reproduce it.
Waiting for a response.
This is still happening on Android 13 with the Pixel 4. 'Addon Detector' aka com.denper.addonsdetector is an example of this.
I have a Pixel 4a with Android 13 and I even installed com.denper.addonsdetector to check but I can't reproduce this. We just query getInstalledApplications() [1] with no flags so it's I'm not sure what can go wrong there, it's quite simple.

Looks like this only happens in the version posted to google's app store. Likely one of there new Privacy/Security restrictions preventing full functionally in that version. That would be Google's problem then.
