Effortless Notifications and Permissions with Kotlin-friendly APIs
summary
NotificationCompat ballooned to 25× larger (now ~10,000 lines) with over 86 public methods on the builder and 500+ symbols, which makes posting a notification error-prone; posting requires a channel ID and a small icon and since Android 13 it also requires a runtime permission. A Kotlin-first solution is presented: a concise notification DSL, inline ChannelId typing, coroutines-based ensurePermission that handles rationale, settings flow and edge cases, and a Compose-friendly rememberPermissionRequestState — prototypes compile and demo successfully.
