Is there any way to keep a text notification?

[Android Central Question]

So you know when you get a text, the notification sits at the top of your screen? I hate that if you open your messaging icon, then close it without reading anything, the notification at the top goes away. Is there anyway to change this? With the s7, it stayed there until you read the actual message. I'm already bad about responding, this makes it worse.

Maybe try a different messaging app? I use Handcent, and it keeps the notification until I read the specific message. Even if I go into the app but doing go to that message thread, the notification stays.

Turn on your unread message reminder. Set it for whatever time interval you want.

Try app Smart Notify, in the new version you can set any message or call as pending.
