Notification Log
Notification Log is a private, non-root Android notification listener for API 34–36. It keeps an encrypted local history of notification appearances, edits, and removal reasons, including a distinction between an app cancelling its own notification and a user dismissing it.
Privacy and capture limits
The event log and copied image files are encrypted at rest with an Android Keystore-backed AES-GCM key. Export is deliberately unencrypted only after the user acknowledges a warning and chooses a destination through Android's Storage Access Framework.
Android exposes standard notification extras such as title, text, big text,
inbox lines, messaging-style messages, and readable big-picture content. This
app copies a readable bitmap at post time when Android provides one. It cannot
reconstruct opaque custom RemoteViews, OTP content Android redacts, or image
URIs/Icons which Android does not allow it to load. Such images remain marked
as [image] without causing the text event to be lost.
The app declares QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES solely to implement the settings pages'
“all installed apps” list. A Play-distributed build must meet Google Play's
restricted package-visibility policy and provide the required declaration; a
future distribution variant may need a narrower app-selection flow.
Notification update policy
Each platform notification key is tracked independently. Group summaries are logged as their own platform notifications; the app does not invent extra group events. Ongoing notifications are recorded when Android posts, updates, or removes them, but are never treated as user-dismissible. Identical reposts are ignored. With the default Ignore routine updates setting, standard progress/chronometer notifications do not create edit rows; non-routine content changes do. Disabling that setting records the updates as edits.
Development checks
./gradlew test assembleDebug
The local Android test lab has been checked on AOSP API 34/35/36, Google APIs API 35/36, and LineageOS API 35/36 using clean LSPosed snapshots. Root and Xposed are not used by this application.
