Better notification for new episodes

Checklist

• I have used the search function for OPEN issues to see if someone else has already submitted the same feature request.
• I have also used the search function for CLOSED issues to see if the feature was already implemented and is just waiting to be released, or if the feature was rejected.
• I will describe the problem with as much detail as possible.
• This request contains only one single feature, not a list of multiple (related) features.

App version

3.3.2

Where did you get the app from

Google Play

Problem you may be having, or feature you want

Currently the notification for new episode (or episodes) only tells the user that "Podcast X has a new episode", and that's it. It's missing crucial information the user may want to have without having to open the app. The user also can't do anything except tap on the notification and see the podcast page.

Suggested solution

It would be preferable to have a notification with the following :

• The name of the podcast AND the name of the episode
• Quick actions : Download, Add to queue, Play now

Screenshots / Drawings / Technical details

As per the "Notification anatomy" section of Android :

Set the (5) title as the name of the podcast and the (6) text as the episode name.

Using a custom notification could be nice too.

If this feature request is accepted, can I work on it ? It looks like a good "First issue"

We had a discussion on the forum about the notifications, and whether we could group them (differently): https://forum.antennapod.org/t/change-info-that-is-shown-in-notifications/3106/10

Could I ask you to read up on that and share your thoughts on the arguments there? That'll help us triage the request.

Using a custom notification could be nice too.

Seeing the big warning from Google about custom notifications, I think it's not worth the effort of additional maintenance & support work.

@keunes will do!
