I've pushed all the requested changes. Let me know if everything works!

There are few bugs:

• Notification is set as silent and there's no way to change it. Because of it, the notification is not visible on the lock screen. Google Phone's missed call notification isn't a silent one, and it's visible on a lock screen.
• When there are multiple missed calls, you can't call to a specific number. It calls a random one from the list. The same is for messages.
• When you want to call or send a message, notification drawer doesn't hide after tapping the button
• After calling or sending a message, the empty group stays in the notification drawer.

For some reason, I'm not able to fix this. I reinstalled the app, changed the importance and tried deleting and recreating the channel but alert/silent and show as popup stayed greyed out (for all channels, not just missed calls).

* When there are multiple missed calls, you can't call to a specific number. It calls a random one from the list. The same is for messages.

It seems to be using the most recent missed call. I tried to fix it by creating an activity but unfortunately I couldn't figure out how to make this work properly. I don't have too much experience with Android dev.

I've fixed this in the latest commit. I had misunderstood how PendingIntent works.

When you want to call or send a message, notification drawer doesn't hide after tapping the button

After looking at a lot of documentation and forum threads, I don't think this is possible to do via code. The system is supposed to automatically close the panel when another activity starts but it doesn't for some reason and the older methods are deprecated. I think this is a separate issue and if there is a solution, I couldn't find one.

After calling or sending a message, the empty group stays in the notification drawer.

I couldn't reproduce this. The system properly clears the empty group automatically.

I think this is a separate issue because the same thing appears to happen for the other channels (call_notification_channel) on the master branch. The stable release doesn't seem to have this issue.

Please let me know if there are any other bugs I missed!

I was just trying to figure out how to implement missed call notifications so that the standard application doesn't duplicate this notification. It turned out that you just need to intercept SHOW_MISSED_CALLS_NOTIFICATION. Thanks.

I found a solution to this problem.
It turns out that if you use PendingIntent.getBroadcast(...) in addAction() then notifications are not closed, but if you use PendingIntent.getActivity(...) then they are closed.

Thanks for the tip! It's fixed in the latest commit on this branch.

This PR is pretty much complete. The notification channels in the latest stable release are also greyed out so it wasn't because of this PR. I'll make a separate issue on that if it doesn't already exist.

I failed to bind the call back button and the message button to the same activation, I had to make a separate activation for each action. Otherwise the first action from the list will always be executed, in this case MISSED_CALL_BACK.
The code PendingIntent.getActivity(...) is executed when the notification is created, not when the button is clicked. And it turns out that when an activity is launched, it is passed both the callback intention and the message intention, and the first one is executed accordingly.

I'm not sure what you mean. It executed the correct intent when I tested it.

I've retested it:

• Empty group still stays in notification drawer. I can always reproduce it - have missed calls from few contacts, call back to each of them, and empty group will stay.
• If the number is stored in private contacts, the contact name is not shown. It's shown in incoming call notification.
• If the contact has multiple numbers, the notification should show the number type. It's also shown in incoming call notification.

• Empty group still stays in notification drawer. I can always reproduce it - have missed calls from few contacts, call back to each of them, and empty group will stay.

I made some changes but since I can't reproduce the issue, I don't know if it works.

• If the contact has multiple numbers, the notification should show the number type. It's also shown in incoming call notification.

Implemented in the latest commit.

• If the number is stored in private contacts, the contact name is not shown. It's shown in incoming call notification.

I don't know how to do that. I don't use private contacts. I think this should be a separate issue. I have been using the patched version on my phone and so far it's been working well.

I made some changes but since I can't reproduce the issue, I don't know if it works.

Now it doesn't work at all. Not only group doesn't hide, but even notification doesn't hide after doing any action. App throws an exception, so it's even impossible to call back. Here's the logcat:

I don't know how to do that. I don't use private contacts. I think this should be a separate issue. I have been using the patched version on my phone and so far it's been working well.

It's not a separate issue. Using contacts from both Fossify Contacts and phone-wide contacts is the basic and important function of Fossify Phone, and we can't accept a pull request that doesn't handle it. Its support is done literally everywhere in the app where contacts are used.

Now it doesn't work at all. Not only group doesn't hide, but even notification doesn't hide after doing any action. App throws an exception, so it's even impossible to call back. Here's the logcat:

I made some changes. It should work this time.

Fair enough. Unfortunately even after looking at other parts of the app, I can't figure out how to do it. Here's what I have so far.

helper.getAvailableContacts(false) { contactList ->
    val privateCursor = context.getMyContactsCursor(favoritesOnly = false, withPhoneNumbersOnly = true)
    val privateContacts = MyContactsContentProvider.getSimpleContacts(context, privateCursor)
    contactList.addAll(privateContacts)
    contactList.sort()
    ...
}

I changed the number I'm using for testing to a private contact but privateContacts still returns an empty list.

Now it works fine, thanks!

Try using ContactsHelper and MyContactsContentProvider.getContacts instead of SimpleContacts. It's used in incoming call notification and there it works, so it should also work in your case.

It works now 🎉

There's an exception when the app gets a call from an unknown number:

That was because I didn't test if photoUri was null. I've fixed it now.

Notification shows now properly.

Unfortunately, I've found a rather major bug while playing around. Missed calls aren't marked as seen. You can test it either by changing phone app to another (e.g. Google's phone displays a badge with number of fresh missed calls) or restarting the phone (you'll get notifications for all missed calls).

Also, a minor thing - now you don't need plural forms for "Missed call" string, you're always using a singular one.

It clears when all notifications are canceled (either with interaction or just clearing it) but I didn't account for switching apps. When I tested marking the missed calls as seen while there were multiple notifications, it clears all of them. I don't know what the correct behaviour should be.

You don't even need to change the app. Clear all missed call notifications in any way you like and restart the phone (or do the Cold Boot on an emulator). You'll get all of them once again.

I can't reproduce the issue.

I'm guessing it's because I'm only calling context.telecomManager.cancelMissedCallsNotification() when there are no notifications left. Calling it when there are still notifications causes it to clear all missed call notifications, which is the same behaviour as google's app last I checked. I can change the code to match that but that would mean all the notifications would be cleared on cancel (not on action).
