Hi bro, could you find an answer for this?

I have absolutely no memory of writing this, or why 🤣

I took a look at it briefly -- Have you tried requestRebind()? -- https://developer.android.com/reference/android/service/notification/NotificationListenerService.html#requestRebind(android.content.ComponentName)

Alternatively, the implementation seems to be exactly the same as calling NotificationManager.getActiveNotifications() -- I imagine that enabling the NotificationService adds the missing permissions to the package.
