Show Notification setting does not stick for apps on SD card

[xwaiz]

After disabling "Show Notification" for apps on SD card, reboot the phone, this setting will become re-enabled. It seems the setting does not stick for apps on SD.

I've tested these steps but no luck:
- disable it, move it to SD, reboot.
- disable it, reboot, move it to SD, reboot.
- move it to SD, disable it, reboot.

Not sure if this is a bug or limitation of Lollipop. I'm using 5.0.2 on D6653 (build # 23.2.A.1.62).

Anyone has a solution or workaround for this? Thanks.

Have you tried using at different sd card or tried using the sd card with a computer or different device? To check if the sd card is faulty?

Are you not seeing the same problem that I have?

Nope, I have not tested with another SD card.  This SD card doesn't look like faulty, because it has no problem on both Mac and PC, and I'm running apps on this SD without problem.  Repeat: the problem is just "Show Notificaiton" setting not sticking for apps on SD.

Thanks for the information.  Here is my conclusion based on that discussion:  It is not worthwhile to move apps onto SD, no benefits.

This "Show Notification" setting stickyness problem is not solved, but no need to look further, life is easier by keeping apps on system storage with current version of Lollipop.
