Android 16 could get iPhone-like ‘ongoing’ notifications

Some mock notifications Rahman created show how it could be used for things like telling you when to expect your Uber to arrive. It looks similar to the iOS Live Activities feature, which surfaces things like timers, sports scores, and delivery ETAs on users’ lock screens and at the top of notifications.
