A calendar app that leaves a persistent notification on the screen

[FF22]

What I'm looking for is what my old Blackberry or BB Calendar provided. If a notice of an alarm or appt happens while I'm busy or the phone is elsewhere, when I do finally open the phone the NOTICE is front and center. That way as soon as I wake the phone and see the screen, the notice is there and I can dismiss it or snooze it or maybe even edit it. I don't want the appt or alarm hidden in a pull down list of notifications. I want to be CONFRONTED with it and have to react then and there.

I have the BB Calendar app and Business Calendar. But neither provides a PERSISTENT alert when the phone is woken up. So, it might just be that Android does not permit such a function?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

(I did ask this in the Pixel 3 forum but did not get much response so maybe the APP forum will get more views)

Just to be clear, you are looking for a message-box with the notification announcement, not just an icon in the notification bar?

Yes. A message box that stays there till I acknowledge it.

Frankly, maybe it is my age or eyesight or past habits. Those tiny icons in the notification bar rarely if ever attract my attention. Usually, sometimes late in the day, I do draw down the Notification Screen and review them and swipe away many as "non-important" or past their prime.

Thanks for the reply.

Funny running into you here. Thanks for that link. I'm still trying to get it to work. Will report back.

I'm like a bad penny, I always turn up.
