The problem presents itself as there are some notification providers (e.g. call services) that don't allow the user to disable specific notifications (in this case WiFi Calling).
Since receiving the official Android 11 on my Pixel 4 XL yesterday, there is a permanent notification telling me emergency calls are not working over WiFi Calling (thanks I know, get out of my sight).
Usually, notification providers can be turned off entirely or selected groups of notifications of a service can be turned off. Well, seems like you can't turn this one (or call services at all) off.
Is there anything one can do about this? I don't want to have this notification be there 24/7.
I am very open to hacky solutions, whatever it takes to get rid of unwanted permanent notifications. The optimal solution would be something that allows me to, in general, modify previously immutable notification settings.

On my phone, I have it set to Priority Only Allows with Messages from anyone plus Calls from anyone.
For some odd reason, my phone will turn on DND and not allow anything to pass for about an hour. This happens several times a day since I can see the DND symbol there knowing that DND has been blocked even though the Priority has allow all messages and calls.
It appears to be activated by my watch through both DND and gestures and over rides what my phone has established. Every so often I see that my phone is in DND and all calls will go to voice mail.
I turned off gestures, set DND to OFF, but is there a way to have this be off and have it stop interfering with my phone calls?
I had the same problem and turned off gestures. I also reported it to Google. Maybe if enough people report similar issues they will make a change.
Android Wear 2.0 was supposed to be out by now, but it was delayed until early next year. Maybe they will make some changes, such as allow customizing gestures.

I excluded Whatsapp and GMail from battery optimization (doze), I set the notifications to level 4, ensured that there is no data restriction for these apps; however most of the time to see notifications I have to wake up the phone from deep sleep (by turning on the screen): in facts, most of the time when I wake up the phone, after some seconds I receive a lot of old notifications and missed calls of Whatsapp and also emails of GMail/Inbox.
I also tried by not closing whatsapp, but leaving its window in background, but nothing solved this major issue.
In developer options, under active applications section, whatsapp and GMail are not always present (after a while they falls in "background applications", which, to from what I heard, is ok).
I also heard that to keep an app always active (if we are without root) there is the need to have a persistent notification, but Whatsapp and GMail are not provided with such option.
On another phone with Lollipop 5.0, a phone which I rooted, I had the same issue which I solved by using "Push Notification Fixer", but on the phone with Nougat (an Xperia) I can't/won't enable the root (otherwise I will lost the camera's DRM); since "Push Notification Fixer (PNF)" on the rooted phone was able to solve the issue, I suspect that the culprit is GCM (Google Cloud Messaging)? by using PNF on the rooted phone I set the "heartbeat" to 5 mins.
I know that there's also a "no root" version of PNF, but doesn't works reliable for me.
So: maybe there is a way to always keep Whatsapp and GMail In running apps or there is another workaround/fix?
Thanks.

Well, since yesterday I installed an app called "Recurrent Notification Manager" which is able to intercept notifications from apps which I choosed (Whatsapp and Inbox) and the most notable thing is that this app is provided with a persistent notification: I noticed that when I receive a Whatsapp message, is firstly reported by this app instead of whatsapp. What I mean:
First of all: I inserted whatsapp inside this app by choosing a green color of the led and a personal sound.
1) I send a messagge to myself from another phone after a while of deep sleep (eg 1 hour)
2) I receive a notification after few seconds
3) I wake up the phone and I see a notification from "Recurrent Notification Manager" but nothing from whatsapp itself
4) I open whatsapp and I receive the message.
Well, this behaviour, at least, seems to make me able to immediately receive notifications.
I will keep on do tests and I hope that this app really solved the bothersome issue.

I'm sorry for the noise: I'm updating step by step this thread to notice every single action that seems to help.
In "Recurrent Notification Manager" app, I also set to monitor "ongoing notifications"; these appear to be the notifications that Whatsapp often displays before of receiving a message, when it says "Checking new messages" and "You may have new messages" (I'm not very sure about the English grammar since I have the Italian language set on my phone) : I often see these notifications before receiving a message and sometimes I also have to wait some minutes, to receive a message: "Recurrent Notification Manager" will send me a "real notification" when Whatsapp shows only these "early notifications"; in facts, as I've said, when I receive a new message, the first notification is from the notification manager instead of Whatsapp.
Is there a way to hide persistent 'Forwarding all calls' notification? I set it intentionally and I *do* want to forward all my calls (background: I'm abroad now so I forwarded all my calls to VOIP number which then forwards all my calls to my local number - instead of paying 3USD/minute it's 15 cents for received call) however this result in permanent and undismissable notification 'forwarding all calls' from 'phone services'.
I appreciate that OS tries to keep me informed but displaying this once every reboot would be more than enough.
I fiddled with the notification settings, but those are tied to 'phone service' so hiding is not an option as I won't receive the call notifications.
I searched other options without any luck. I search for exposed module to hide this particular notification without any luck.
But I'm creating this topic hoping that maybe there is a way to hide it

Hey,
Prior to android 10 I used Night Keeper for years and there was some change in android 10. Its some special setting which needs to be changed in order for the apps white list to put calls through. Anyways, this app is "no longer useful beyond android 9+." That being said I stumbled across the magical setting a couple months ago but I had to do a reset of the phone and cant remember what the setting was. I had it working flawlessly for months so I know its possible. I remember losing my mind last time too but then randomly came across some post which listed the settings I needed to change. There is a setting called DND access but you can only select whatever apps it lists, I cant force night keeper. I dont think thats the issue because it does turn on DND, more on that below.
Summary of what the app does in case people arent familiar;
DND app but it lets you create profiles. So I have a sleep one which turns off BT and all notifications except calls from specific contacts, it turns on android DND but then SHOULD override something when specific callers call. It is not recognizing the contacts which are in my list so their calls are not put through. I have a profile called Text & Phone, its listed as priority mode rather than silent and full ringer. So all calls and then whatever apps I do want notifications for (messaging, etc) so in other words no email (still synced though) and only actually important notifications. In order to get those notifications you have to go into the app notifications settings and allow override DND. It has to be some permission to allow it to read contacts or something since the app works other than call filtering. ANY IDEAS??? I havnt been able to find a similar app which does what I need.
I don't know if this is an Android 12 issue or a Samsung S22+ issue. When I connect to a public Wi-Fi that requires me to "sign in", immediately after signing in, I get an audible notification alert. The notification shows up in the notification list as "Android System". But, I have Android System set to deliver notifications silently so something is amiss.
I don't get a notification when I re-connect to a public Wi-Fi I've used before and that does not require me to sign in.
I'd like to stop these audible notifications but can't find any setting that will accomplish what I want. My Samsung Note 9 does not have this issue.
Thanks for the help.

I found the solution and thought I would post it to help anyone else who might have this issue.
You have to swipe down on the visible notification and then long press on it. That will pop up a message allowing you to choose to receive this notification silently. It referenced "Network Manager" which I've not been able to find anywhere else in settings. I can confirm it works for all notifications of this type and not just the one Wi-Fi network that first prompted the notification.
