[local-notifications] update visible notification

[jberns88]

Feature Request

Plugin

local-notifications

Description

I'm trying to create an ongoing notification that can be updated without being replaced (a simple timer). Currently when scheduling a notification with the same ID, LocalNotificationManager -> schedule -> dismissVisibleNotification is called causing the notification to be replaced each time. Simply commenting out the line dismissVisibleNotification(id) achieves the desired result as android will not replace the notification only update it.

Platform(s)

Android

Preferred Solution

Add something to the ScheduleOptions/LocalNotificationSchema to make it optional

Alternatives

Remove dismissVisibleNotification(id) ? I'm sure this will have side effects that I'm not aware of.
