Display notification every time I minimize app

Question

Context:

My app has 5 activities:

SplashScreenActivity - starts service
MainActivity - selects Activity 1,2 or 3
Activity 1
Activity 2
Activity 3

Currently I create notification in onCreate method of the service, which display recent activity after touching, based on

Problem

setOngoing method Notification.Builder is annoying - is always here, independent if my app is in foreground or not. So I change to the setAutoCancel method, but works only for first use. Example:

I run my app - splashscreen activity (notification is shown) -> main activity -> select Activity 1 - minimize. Now click notification - brings Activity 1 (OK), but notification is dismissed and never shown.

Question

How to display notification, every time I minimize app?

Simple override onPause and put the notification logic there.

Sure, this was my first thought, but on every activity? – user2120666 Apr 07 '21 at 18:21
Create a service and start that service in every activity that you want to display a notification on. – Eyosiyas Apr 07 '21 at 18:27
I already created service, read description please – user2120666 Apr 07 '21 at 18:36
I'm not seeing the code but run the service then. – Eyosiyas Apr 07 '21 at 18:45
Thanks, but I am completely lost from your comments. Service is already started in splashscreen activity, i dont need start service again, because is already started – user2120666 Apr 07 '21 at 19:31
In that case, when your app leaves the foreground inform the service to show the notification. – Eyosiyas Apr 07 '21 at 19:53
