As you surely know, Android M introduces Doze, which should increase battery life. Also unused apps are put into standby mode to further increase battery performance. However, high priority apps, will still be able to send you notifications and wake the device during Doze. There is one big problem: not users, but developers get to decide if their app qualifies as "high priority". Obviously every dev thinks that of his app, which would make Doze basically useless. Now I'm sure if devs start abusing this, Google will step in and let the users decide if they think those apps are high priority or not (similar to what happened with Heads-Up Notifications). But until Google decides to change this, is there any way for us to prevent apps from interrupting Doze, even if they are marked "high priority" by the dev? The same goes for Standby: can we prevent apps that have been put in auto standby from sending notifications?
