How to remove USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT?

[ezequielobreque]

Hello!
I recently uploaded a version of my application that uses notifee to the Play Store and the Android people made me notice that I was using USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT, and that I had until May 31 to solve it. Notice that notifee is adding these permissions to the intermediate files. Is there a way to remove this permission that I really don't think I'm using?

notifee 7.8.2

Faced a similar issue with Play Store complaining about FULL_SCREEN_INTENT permission, and removing my app from the Play Store. So, I removed the permission manually from AndroidManifest.xml, and it works now.

<manifest
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" <= ADD THIS LINE
  package="com.something">

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT" tools:node="remove" />

Will notifee work as expected If I remove the permission manually?

I tried this, but it still seems to show up in the generated Manifest. I would have expected that the project manifest would be leading.

I am also experiencing the same issue with my notifee configuration. I am not using asForgroundService and the category is Message. However, I can still see the USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT permission in the merged Manifest file.

 await notifee
            .displayNotification({
                id: messageId,
                title: title,
                body: body,
                data: {
                    deepLink: deepLink,
                },
                android: {
                    channelId: pushNotificationChannels.id,
                    groupSummary: true,
                    smallIcon: smallIcon ? smallIcon : 'ic_notification',
                    timestamp: Date.now() - 480000,
                    showTimestamp: true,
                    showChronometer: true,
                    // pressAction is needed if you want the notification to open the app when pressed
                    pressAction: {
                        id: 'default',
                    },
                    category: AndroidCategory.MESSAGE,
                    asForegroundService: false,
                },
                ios: {
                    critical: true,
                    sound: 'default',
                    // iOS > 12
                    // play at 90% sound volume
                    criticalVolume: 0.9,
                },
            })
            .catch((e) => {
                console.log(
                    'Error in pushNotificationController notifee.displayNotification',
                    e,
                );
            });

Please let me know how to remove the USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT permission, and if I remove it manually, will it affect the functionality of notifee.

Confirming that this worked, android/app/build/outputs/logs/manifest-merger-release-report.txt shows that the USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT is REJECTED

Will need to test on Android 14 and Android 12 or under to confirm this causes no actual issues.

I tested on Android 14 and foreground service works.
