Sonos S2 14.18.2 notification: stopping the service may interrupt playback notifications

@Glynnthere, Check out the new Amazon Music app. Prime Music is now basically a customised radio station.

Here’s an official announcement.

Support says that the notification is “normal.”  Of course, it didn’t appear until recently, so, why does it appear now?  And how can it be normal when it’s clearly extraneous?  It’s true that the notification doesn’t appear to affect my system’s operation, but we should be able to remove the extraneous notification without having to shutdown all background notifications for the app.

Same issue here, running 14.18.2 on a Google Pixel 6a running Android 13

Same issue on a redmi note 10 running miui 12.

Appears constantly.

Clearly a bug.

Same issue on Galaxy Fold 4. Not a huge deal, but it shouldn't be there. Not a huge fan of notifications that serve no purpose and I can't get rid of. Hopefully this is a bug that gets fixed soon.

Seeing this as well, but I've hidden the notification type. One positive thing I'm seeing is that the mini player notification is actually sticking around which hasn't worked in a long time.

I came here to post the same thing. It's annoying to have two icons, but at least the mini player hasn't disappeared all day. 

Me Too. I turned OFF notifications.

Same issue here. Pixel 4.

Anyone else having blips while opening the app. Like the app is attempting to open over and over and over again. Takes about 10 seconds or more to settle down and work?

Same issue here. OnePlus Nord Android 11.

It wouldn't bother me so much if the notification meant something, and did something when you press it, but it just permanently sits there cluttering up your phone's notifications. Unacceptable.

The solution is to go into Settings > Apps and notifications >  Sonos > Notifications

Here, toggle off the "Background notifications" option.

Of course, you shouldn't have to do this, and I don't know if this will prevent other important notifications from displaying.

Please fix this Sonos.
