Notifications constantly repeatly notify me until I dismiss them (undesired) #358

I'm not sure if this issue is a PebbleOS issue or an android app issue, but when I get notifications sent to my Pebble Time watch, like say an E-Mail comes in, it never stops re-notifying me until I dismiss on the watch or the phone.

So let's say I get two E-Mail messages come in. blip blip my watch tells me about both. Sometimes I press the "back" button on my watch just to clear the notification on the watch (but not clear it on my phone), or sometimes I just don't interact with it and the notification continues to display on the watch.

But a bunch of seconds later (I'm not sure how long, but it seems to be the same delay each time) I get notified on the watch YET AGAIN for all the notifications I did not dismiss. This happens whether I press the "back" button on my watch, or just not interact with the notification at all. And the notifications re-notify indefinitely, every time with the same delay, and will NOT stop notifying me (which vibrates of course) until I ONLY Dismiss the notification.

The problem this creates for me is I want the notification to continue to be present on my phone and I do NOT want my watch to just keep forever vibrating me and notifying me. It's extremely distracting, and obnoxious. I want to keep the notifications on my phone (at times) so that I action them when I want to. And dismissing them actually makes it easier for me to forget whatever it was I was being notified about.

However there are times I want "dismiss" to clear the notification on the phone too... it depends on the nature of the notification. So I'm not necessarily asking for a change in behaviour for "dismiss".

I don't know the best answer/solution to this problem, except that if I press "back" on a notification I DO NOT want my watch to perpetually be re-notifying me and vibrating yet again for notifications I already were sent.

I hope this makes sense, and hopefully some sort of fix can be sorted out here, because this has been giving me problem for years now. Thanks!
