From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nice, thx! I'll test it but is that the same for all the other apps that need a foreground service?
Yes, that's basically how Android handles showing you what's running in the background that you have no other way of seeing. If you swipe away your music player notification it also shows up there. So disabling the persistent service notification of a background service sends it there.
It's pretty nice, it's really out of the way yet visible for you to inspect so apps can't just run hidden away.
