Research direction

No source files or tests are named in the issue. Start by reproducing the reported sequence on Android 10: receive an unread SMS, then an MMS, and inspect the notification handling entry points for SMS and MMS. Done means both notifications show the correct contact or number, and tapping or reading them does not leave a stale notification or produce an error.
