Leftover notifications after Android 16 upgrade

[Radon Rosborough]

Hello friends,

I recently (Aug 1st) did my routine software upgrades, including notably upgrading from GrapheneOS 2025061600 (Android 15) to GrapheneOS 2025073000 (Android 16), as well as upgrading to the then-latest Tasker version 6.6.3-beta from the Google Drive for supporters. Well, it was recently, but I found out after some weeks that my mail wasn't delivered to the mailing list, and straightening that out took several more weeks.

After this upgrade a strange issue has started occurring from once every day or two, which never happened before. I have a task configured to post a notification, wait some time, and then clear it. Here is a screenshot showing the task configuration:

This task is triggered hourly by a profile. The point is to periodically tell me (with an audio cue) that I ought to get up and move around. After the upgrade: sometimes, but not always, the notification is displayed and cleared, but the secondary "Running Tasks" notification does not disappear, resulting in it sticking around after the 15-seconds-past-the-hour duration it would normally have. Here is a screenshot of that:

I found the option to disable "Show in Notification" for this task, and disabled that. While that gets rid of the leftover "Running Tasks" notification, there is still a leftover notification, just with no contents at all. Here is a screenshot of that:

Does anybody have tips on how I could resolve this problem?

Thank you,
