Popup message not working in Android 14

I am using a button on the Button Bar to trigger a macro. The macro among other things also displays a popup message. To access the button bar, I have to pull the notification drawer down. This worked well when I was on Android 13, with the popup message getting displayed on the pulled down notification drawer. However, few days back my mobile got an update to Android 14. Since then, the popup message is not getting displayed on the pulled down notification drawer. I have to pull up the notification drawer to look at the popup message. Very annoying. I don't know what changed in the Android 14 update.

Is there any setting which I need to do for Macrodroid? I have already enabled the display over other apps option in Android 13 as well as 14.

Any other user facing this problem? Any solution/workaround?

Didn't get any response to my query. Perhaps I was not clear in my problem statement. Rewording my problem below.

01. I have a macro which takes input from the user using the [User prompt] action. There are bunch of other actions that work on the user input.
02. To trigger this macro, I am using a button on the MacroDroid Notification Bar.
03. When I touch this button, the macro runs and displays a prompt for the user to input the value.
04. To see the notification bar, I have to pull down the Android notification drawer
05. When I was on Android 13, when I pulled the Android notification drawer down and clicked on the appropriate MacroDroid Notification Bar button, the Android notification bar would vanish and I could see the macro prompt for the user to input the variable value. Things worked perfectly!
06. After I was updated to Android 14, this behavior is changed. When I pull down the Android notification drawer down, I do see the MacroDroid Notification Bar. However, when I click on the Notification Bar button, the Android notification drawer stays in place and the prompt for the user to input the variable value is displayed BEHIND the notification drawer. I have to manually dismiss the Android notification drawer to get to the prompt. I find this behavior irritating.
07. Is there any setting which I can do in MacroDroid or Android 14 to get back to the behavior in Android 13?

I am on realme Narzo 50 pro 5G updated to Android 14 few days back.

I hope to get some inputs from the experts and more advanced users in this forum.

This problem did not occur with Pixel but reproduced with ColorOS 14, so I think it is due to OS modifications.
The only solution I could think of was to close the status bar with a gesture.

I believe there's no need for gestures. There's an action to expand/collapse the status bar in the device actions category. You can add a collapse status bar action above the user prompt action to solve your issue.

Click to expand...

Unfortunately, this action does not work in ColorOS 14.

Sorry, I wasn't aware of this. I'm using the same modified system from China called OriginOS, and it works fine on my device, so I assumed it would be the same on ColorOS.

@Dimlos, thanks for your suggestion. It worked perfectly. I had to tweak the parameters a bit to get it working.

I agree with @Dimlos. I was using the Expand/collapse status bar too. It worked on Android 13. Suddenly it stopped working on Android 14! So much for downward compatibility in Android. I think the realme OS is based on ColorOS.
