Android Central Question

I have Android 10 on my phone. In the 'Settings - SIM card & mobile data - Mobile Data - Network Permissions' menu, I have set wifi & mobile data access as "disable network" for some of my apps.

The problem is, when I open such an app, it shows a notification "App name is Forbidden From Using the Network" with two buttons to choose from - "Keep disabled" or "Allow". This cannot be minimized or removed without choosing either of the two buttons.

After choosing "Keep disabled", the nuisance does not go away. Each time the app is opened next, there is a toast informing "Network is turned off for App name. You can modiy this in menu location". This happens every time! And sometimes (probably after a reboot, not sure) Android 10 forgets the setting for that app and the mandatory notification comes again with the buttons to choose from.

Can this behavior be prevented or at least minimized?
 
Since you are not allowing these apps network access I can only assume that they generate few to no notifications. Have you tried turning off all notifications for these apps? The toast notification is probably from the device and not the app but that is the only option I can think of without more information.

What device is this?

Can you give an example of an app that you are trying to deny internet access to, and/or the reason you want to deny internet access?


I'm a bit surprised that being Android 10 there isn't a 3rd option to, keep the setting and don't ask again, but that could be due it being a request for internet access. I'm not sure.
