Better handling if the user didn't grant notification permission

[maxwai]

Currently, the com.maxwai.nclientv3.settings.NotificationSettings Class just ignores it if the permission to send notifications isn't given. I also can't actually find where the app requests the initial Notification permission (maybe this is from Android itself??).

It needs to be discussed what the better way is, either to ignore it and expect the user to enable it in the settings or ask once per session if it is not given, or a middle ground, open for suggestions.

What will it be needed for?
I use this app for a couple of years but didn't receive a notification even once.

It (should) happen when you download a gallery.

Oh, I didn’t know that! I’ve never tried to download before.

Since a lot of people tend to skip app permission requests, I can think of three ways to handle it:

Explain First: Show a quick message explaining why the notification permission is needed before asking for it. If the user ignores it, just move on and don’t ask again.

Ask Every Time: Request the permission every time the user tries to download, until approved.

A Mix of Both: Ask for the permission after installation. If they ignore it, ask again with a brief explanation the first time they try to download something. If they still ignore it, just forget about it.
