1. The sticky notification
When I have a notification that’s especially important and that I want to make sure not to dismiss until it’s been properly handled, it now gets set to be sticky — which means even if I accidentally swipe it away or hit the button to dismiss all notifications, it comes right back instead of vanishing into the ether.

2. The shareable notification
Sometimes, a notification has info in it that’d be helpful to save or share somewhere without just having to snag a screenshot. Now, whenever I’m in such a scenario — with an app where I’ve noticed I tend to see notifications that call for such a command — I can actually have an Android system share option right there within those notifications. And, with a single tap on it, I can share the entire contents of the notification into any other app or service on my phone.

3. The smart snoozing notification
Android’s notification-snoozing system is great, in theory, but it’s also much more limited than it should be — with options only to snooze a notification for 15 minutes, 30 minutes, one hour, or two hours. So what if you want to snooze something so that it returns at the end of your work day, as often comes up with alerts received during daytime hours? With this addition in place, you can snooze any notification to a specific set time, like 5:30 p.m., and it comes back exactly when you want it — no matter how far away that moment may be.
