In Android Oreo, the kind of feature implemented by the developers allows apps to run over the top of the running apps. It means that while you are using any of the apps, background apps can still show you an overlay even if you’re not actively using it.
The feature is great, but it’s not properly optimized. The feature lately received many negative reviews as the background app overlays often block the primary screen. When this happens, you get a notification that reads ‘Is Displaying Over Other Apps’.
While the notification is supposed to dismiss automatically when you close the app displaying over other apps, the notification fails to go away due to bugs. As a result, the notifications sticks on the Notification panel even if the said app is closed and removed from the memory.
