According to what I've read from Google, there are notifications that are constantly being shown when you use apps that use accessibility, when isAccessibilityTool=true is not set:

This is a very annoying thing, because many apps use accessibility for other purposes, and I'm very fine with it, and I grant them this powerful permission, still.
I don't need to be notified all the time about such apps.
I tried to reach the notification settings for such notifications, but it doesn't let me disable them.

Please allow to disable such notifications, via API and as a user, in the settings.

"Feel free to use non-Google apps, but we will bombard you with notifications about it if you do" - sounds about right for Google. This'll be the last time I use a Google ROM.

@4 Why? Why would you want to have this behavior, of always annoying me about accessibility apps that I've installed and granted their permissions, especially if I'm the one who made them?

Please fix this already. Show the notification only once, or at least allow whitelisting apps or show the notification only once for every update of the software or something.
