You might have disabled one type of notifications, instead of all types of them. Making sure I disable all types of notification from an app usually works for me. What brand of phone are you using?

Can you share some apps where this happens for you. I have rather the complete opposite experience where unused apps with permissions eventually lose said permissions.

This is normal, with newer versions of android (probably 10+) there is a feature that checks and removes unused permissions from apps in the last X days.

According to the OP here, it does seem like a pain in the butt to disable - https://support.google.com/android/thread/268170076/android-...

Thanks for that link! I was aware of that feature hence why I was curious which cases where apps get additional permissions rather than lose as expected.

Lyft and Uber

That would make a bit of sense then, I don't have lyft but uber lists over 6 distinct notification types, where disabling one would lead me to believe the other notifications would keep pinging still.

Name sure you also disable the ability for the app to change settings
