Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]

There is no functionality problem, although, to go with the template, I'm a bit frustrated with the current notification system.
There is only one notification channel for all types of notifications.
This is frustrating for managing some functionality from the notification bar, or setting alerts for things, but because of the single channel functionality, there's not much the user can do.

Describe the Solution You'd Like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

Change Notification Channel Operations

To solve this issue, have a notification channel for each type of notification.
In this case, there would be a channel for each of the following persistent notifications:

Running

For displaying that Orbot is active and currently running.

  • By default, would be an expanded, normal priority notification.
  • It would not pop up onscreen when the notification is sent.
  • It would display "Pause" and "Shutdown"

Idle

For displaying that Orbot is active, but not running the Tor network service as a VPN.

  • It would be silent by default, but not minimized so it can display the buttons.
  • It would display "Start" and "Shutdown"

"Kindness" mode active

A single channel, to display if kindness mode is active.

  • Would be silent by default, and minimized, but it would still have start and stop buttons.
  • The notification would be minimized since I think by the UX it would be normal for a user to change Kindness mode settings from within the app, and that way the notification panel is clear of clutter.

Describe the Alternatives You've Considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Perhaps a single channel for active and idle.
