Persistent Weather Notification

[Minkiu]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I would like to see the weather/temperature from the Notification area. Something on the lines of:
Weather Icon - City - Current Temperature

Describe the solution you'd like
A persistent Notification that displays the current weather/temperatures, displaying the information visible in the app that's above the hour breakdown carousel.

Additional context (optional)
See example of what I mean from the Overdrop app :

A quick google lead me here, not sure if you are already using this:
https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_local_notifications

Thanks for the app!
Cheers.

I'm not yet sure if we want to add such a feature, but if we do so, there are a few things we should consider:

• How often should we refresh the weather? Every 10 minutes, like we currently do?
• Should we allow choosing a different city for the notification than for the app? (I'd say no)
• Does the suggested package (flutter_local_notifications) depend on Google Play Services? If so, we'll have to find some other package.

Just for the record, I don't have enough time at the moment to work on this feature or even review a PR that implements it.

Hey, thanks for the feedback and taking the time to triage it.

I agree pretty much with all your points, in my head it would the implementation with the least friction, so a "peek" at the main app, doesn't even need to be a weekly one, I'd be more than happy with the current weather.

That package was the first one I found, I am no dart developer, not even sure if that includes what it's needed or it's a bit overkill, but agree in not relying on the Google Play Services :D

Thanks again,
Cheers.
