Notifications not clearing on Oreo

[lucidlyseen]

So I got the standard OTA Oreo upgrade (not part of beta) and now some of my Instagram notifications don't clear after viewing them. I can swipe them away, but before Oreo, they would disappear the second I launched IG.

Also is there a way to get rid of the Android System notifications? I have two apps installed (Energy Bar and Round Corners) and I have a constant notification that each of those apps is displaying over other apps. I've only been able to snooze these, but not make them go away?

Heck, no. That's one of those reasons we all need Oreo, one of the new can't-live-without-ya improvements. Enjoy!

If you look over on XDA there's a non-root solution (involving Tasker and a plug-in) that should be useful. If I find the direct link I'll add it to this post.

The only other option is to slide the notification to the right, and hide it. The max you can hide it for is 2hrs.
