What is it?

  • Bugfix (user facing)

Description of the changes in your PR

Since Android 13 media player notifications are exempt from the notification settings/permission, however NewPipe currently disables all preferences in the notification section preventing the user from entering the player notification page.
I have tested this on my device and neither the global notification toggle/permission, nor disabling the specific channel used for player notifications would hide it.
Since system settings don't affect the display of the player notification, this PR makes it so that only the new stream notification preferences are disabled, when notifications are blocked by the system.

I tried it out, disabled notification permission and switched the thumbnail setting, seems to work fine.
Haven’t reviewed the code.

Code looks good to me. I tested the following after disabling notifications (either by denying the permission or by manually disabling notifications in the app preferences on lower android versions).

  • on my phone (Android 13) -> player notifications visible and option visible
  • on API 34 emulated -> player notifications visible and option visible
  • on API 31 emulated -> player notification hidden and option hidden
  • on API 22 emulated -> player notification hidden and option hidden

Everything seems to work fine. Thank you for the PR!
