Ongoing notification and font

[Amar]

Would it be possible to get rid of the ongoing notification or at least making it optional, I really hate having that sit in my notification shade all the time when i can just use the recents menu to switch to the app.  Also would it be possible to use a sans-serif font or at least have it as an option, would like to see the app using the system font.

Using a monospace font has historic reasons. Nearly every IRC client uses a monospace font as default. It's by the way the system's monospace font and not part of the app.

About the ongoing notification. From my point of view this is the correct behavior as the app is running a sticky background service that eats significant battery and cpu cycles. As soon as there's no active ongoing connection the notification will be removed.

That's also how I understand the Android design guidelines (bottom):
