Description

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Nextcloud
  2. Close the app
  3. Remove app from recents.

Expected behaviour

App closes silently.

Actual behaviour

An annoying notification appears telling the user to "Keep the app running for a better user experience"

Reasoning or why should it be changed/implemented?

This notification appears every time you close the app causing annoyance for something people don't care about. Would be nice to have an option to acknowledge the notification and have it not show again.

Research direction

Start by locating the code that displays the “Keep the app running for a better user experience” notification and read how app state is handled when the app is closed or removed from recents. Add an option to acknowledge or disable the notification, then verify the notification no longer appears after that choice while the existing close-app behavior remains unchanged.
