Notification icons appear in status bar

[Michael Redmann]

I'm not sure if it is a feature or a bug of the actual release 1.48.0 ;-) 
But in the former releases I somehow disabled the status bar icons for the notifications. As I always have an active notification I don't need the extra icon in the status bar.

An app can only show a status bar icon withe an notification, what notification is Automate showing, what does it say?

Android version?

Device brand & model?

This screenshot from today shows the notification block of the running flow: 

 
You see the icon #10 from the running flow is also shown in the upper left of the status bar. The flow constantly notifies about battery capacity, current, voltage and temperature. I have been running this flow since January, also on the former Pixel 4a. But up to about one or two weeks ago I've never seen the respective Automate icon at the status bar.
Here's a screen shot from last week. You neither see Automate's icon nor the icon of the NetSpeed Indicator app, which is also running. 

I don't know how I managed to disable both icons. But, because not only Automate is affected there may have been a change in Android 16. So I first assumed it is related to Automate's new version.

There's nothing an app can do to effect if/when the status bar icon of a notification is shown since the system handles that, so this must be a system change. 

Unless Android has changed, the status bar icon should be shown every time a new notification, with a new id, is posted.

Maybe you've changed your flow so it's now executing the Notification show block in a new fiber each time, that would give it a new id every time causing the icon to appear.

Try rebooting the device to see if there's any change in behavior.
