Play Store Adds Notification Channels
The latest version of Play Store brings five different channels for customization, which includes Security and Maintenance, Update Apps, App Updates Availability, Account Alerts and High Priority. This apparently brings in a lot more area of opportunity to the developers.
Although, the Notification Channels don’t replace the recently added Notification Page in Settings, but might confuse a bit because the Updates and Auto-Updates switches are essentially redundant, while the Pre-registration and Deals get uniquely available.
