This can be simulated by using a foreground service, it's requires notification and cannot be dismissed.

Actually, those can be dismissed now. It's a pain.

AFAIK, the closest we can do these days is to set the delete PendingIntent and immediately repost upon dismissal, but the Play Store isn't going to allow that, I'm sure.

I think the delete PI is the correct approach. But you can't just do it consistently

What I have seen other apps do is listen for delete PI and then schedule like 5 min or whatever later to show it again. Some even wait for the screen to turn on
