Research direction

Start by reproducing the report on Android: open the app, start a recording, and observe the notification activation request and the setting toggle. Then trace the recording flow and the notification-related entry points it uses. The reported behavior is resolved when the notification requirement and the setting-toggle behavior match the intended app experience; the issue does not identify specific files or tests.
