Originally created by @nkm8 on GitHub (Aug 1, 2018).

Tested on Android P DP5 running a Pixel 2. I use a Garmin fitness tracker that supports displaying notifications from third-party apps. When I installed Bitwarden, this feature defaulted to on.

If an auto-fill notification opens, my fitness tracker (vivosmart HR+) was immediately spammed with at least a dozen instances of the Bitwarden auto-fill notifications.

I was able to fix this issue by manually disabling Bitwarden smart notifications in the Garmin Connect app. However, it may be beneficial to change the auto-fill notifications to low-priority to prevent issues like this with other fitness trackers or Android Wear devices.

@IiroP commented on GitHub (Aug 5, 2018):

I think it depends on the usage. Personally I like that the notifaction pops to screen as priority notification (without sound though).

But you can change the notification channel priority in settings? At least in Oreo it's possible, I haven't tried P though.

@IiroP I don't think you can do this in Oreo, either (at least not without third-party work-arounds). Bitwarden doesn't implement notification channels, so there is no way to change this behavior by default: https://www.xda-developers.com/notification-importance-controls-all-apps-android-oreo/

This behavior seems to have changed even further on P because I can't change the priority on any apps, including those that use notification channels.

I have notification channels for Bitwarden... 🤔 Not sure if it's a beta feature though

@IiroP Nevermind, you are correct. The UI changed in P and isn't very intuitive, but you must tap on the channel to modify the settings (priority, sound, vibrate, etc.)

I was able to modify the auto-fill notification to be a low-priority notification manually, so this is not an issue.
