Notifications in F-Droid version doesn't work

[keleset]

Element is getting killed by Android system while being in the background. This completely disables notifications until next manual start. This happens on every Android device I've tested (Android 8.0 - Android 10).
Disabling every Android setting for lower power usage doesn't help.
The reason for that - Element doesn't display permanent notification.
I believe even Android dev manuals explicitly state that every permanent background app should have permanent notification now.
RiotX worked perfectly fine while having this permanent notification.
I have no Idea why this regression took place while transitioning from RiotX codebase to Element, but I guess this should be fix ASAP, because as far as I understand (correct me if I'm wrong), this is quite a simple thing to fix and right now it makes F-Droid version of Element pretty much unusable.

Is the play store version different to the droid version on this matter? I have had the same trouble...

I created a patched fdroid only version in that thread. Check if that is more stable.
