Automatically remove Android notifications only when read

[Discostu36]

At the moment, Android notifications are automatically removed when the Tusky app is open(ed). Instead, they should only be removed, when the corresponding Mastadon notification has been seen.

I'm not sure if it should work like that to be honest. Compare to other apps, like messengers, don't they remove notifications as well?
We could however indicate it inside the app

I'm fine with the system notification being removed directly on opening the app, but a counter on the bell icon of all unread notifications would be a good thing.

Bump.

Was about to open this issue as well.

Maybe a somewhat easier (intermediate) step would be to remove notifcations only once the notification timeline is opened.

This depends on the messenger. WhatsApp, for examples, removes notifications as soon as the app is opened. Telegram, on the other hand, only dismisses notifications once the specific chat is opened that the notification is for.
