Why download notification disappears when pause?

[kelson42]

It should not IMHO

Can you please assign me this issue ?

It disappears because Fetch removes the notification when a download is paused(and this feature was working like this in previous versions of the application) there is no clear reason behind it, but I believe that because we don't know when the user will resume the download Fetch removes the notification of Download when we pause the download to avoid the extra handling of notifications in the pause state. There is an issue open for this in the Fetch repo tonyofrancis/Fetch#575.

But we can create our custom logic to show the notification when downloading is paused.

Thank you for the explanation! I understand that Fetch removes the notification when a download is paused to avoid extra handling, but since there's an open issue for this (tonyofrancis/Fetch#575), I'd like to work on it by implementing a custom logic to show the notification in the paused state.

I will start by exploring how Fetch manages notifications internally and see how we can extend or override this behavior. If you have any suggestions on where to begin or specific areas of the codebase I should focus on, I'd appreciate your guidance.

@salehdemir Thanks for showing interest, but this issue is very important to our downloading functionality, and we have the foreground service as well for the downloading functionality. So let me handle this issue. You can take other issues.

You can take issues from the next milestone which are easy to implement https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-android/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20milestone%3A3.15.0%20

@MohitMaliDeveloper Please ensure the pause button does not remove the notification
