Outcome

What did you expect?

The voice message recording should continue despite receiving a notification, or at least clearly inform the user that the recording has been interrupted.

What happened instead?

The recording stops immediately when a notification is received, as if the user had pressed the "stop" button.

The voice message is not lost and can still be sent, but it is truncated. If the user does not notice that the recording has stopped, part of the message is missing.

This does not happen when the phone is in Do Not Disturb mode (no notifications are received).

I confirm the issue on FairPhone 5 with e/OS/ 3.6 (Android 15). It took me a while to realise this behavior as I rarely turn notifications on...

This is already fixed in #6438.
The fix is not on FDroid yet, it's in v26.03.4.
