I even noticed this problem before MD 5.12 (on Android v8 or v9). As you say, it appears at boot time and gradually disappears, randomly pushed downward by app notifications, as well as MD/macro notifications. As I made no system updates/upgrades (both Samsung Galaxy), it is probably due to an old MD update but I can't remember which one: I would say at least from MD v4 to v5, or v3 to v4...Hi
Since 5.13, Macrodroid notification bar is no more. I tried everything, but no luck.
The bar shows at home screen only if and when restarting android, but disappears afterward.
Not this problem on 5.12.
No, Jamie, it happened earlier. Probably when changing from versions 4 to 5 (or even 3 to 4). Let me check if I can find the date of my first request in the 'old forum' or in our exchange of mails. I come back asap.I don't think there is any change between these two versions 5.12 -> 5.13 that can cause this (I can't see anything relevant).
Is it possible to confirm the exact version the notification does not disappear and from what version it starts to exhibit this issue?
Sorry for the delay...I don't think there is any change between these two versions 5.12 -> 5.13 that can cause this (I can't see anything relevant).

I've just noticed something weird. I used to 'hide' persistent MD icon in status bar (not to show MD is installed and running) using a blank icon (first item in 'Material Design' standard set).I don't think there is any change between these two versions 5.12 -> 5.13 that can cause this (I can't see anything relevant).

Interesting.I've just noticed something weird. I used to 'hide' persistent MD icon in status bar (not to show MD is installed and running) using a blank icon (first item in 'Material Design' standard set).
I restored the original 'M' icon a couple of days ago and the notification bar has never gone again yet!
Do pr3jker, andydroid, framexx or any other member whose notification bar disappeas uses the same 'blank' icon or is there no relation at all?
I just found something amazing. As every morning I booted my phone and I noticed that the 'M' MD persistent icon didn't show. Same thing for the notification bar! At reboot time everything was ok.I don't think there is any change between these two versions 5.12 -> 5.13 that can cause this (I can't see anything relevant).

Good idea to use this icon to dynamically show a particular context!Interesting.
I actively *want* an icon to display along with the notification bar, but I also use icons different from the standard 'M' icon: I use different icons depending on which of my 'volume profiles' is currently in use (I use MacroDroid to automatically change between different volume settings depending on various triggers).
For me as well, the notification bar appears after a phone restart, but disappears very soon after, possibly when a macro updates it? I might test your suggestion about the icon later, but for now, the football is about to start!...
May be before 5.12, of course, but anyway, the issue started recently, never had it until, I'd say, v5.8, from January / February 2021.I don't think there is any change between these two versions 5.12 -> 5.13 that can cause this (I can't see anything relevant).

Yeah, you're probably right. As I had some devices problems on that times, maybe I wasn't clearly aware of the date it appeared...May be before 5.12, of course, but anyway, the issue started recently, never had it until, I'd say, v5.8, from January / February 2021.
The button bar gone issue appeared (for me) in January 2021, probably in MD v. 5.8.I don't think there is any change between these two versions 5.12 -> 5.13 that can cause this (I can't see anything relevant).

Yep, same thing here. We have a winner. the difference is I just used another icon, not the default one. But now the button bar is there!I've just noticed something weird. I used to 'hide' persistent MD icon in status bar (not to show MD is installed and running) using a blank icon (first item in 'Material Design' standard set).

Unfortunately, for me, whatever the icon (standard M, blank one or various design dynamically changed according to MD mode) it still sometimes disappearsYep, same thing here. We have a winner. the difference is I just used another icon, not the default one. But now the button bar is there!![]()
