Samsung shows a permanent 1 badge because the always-present FGS notification sits on a channel whose showBadge=true survived the delete/recreate trick — Android restores settings for same-ID recreated channels. New channel ID = fresh settings. Also BADGE_ICON_NONE + number=0 on the notification itself.

notifications: kill persistent app-icon badge from FGS channel 8decddb2e7

The foreground-service channel was created before setShowBadge(false)
existed on some devices (e.g. Samsung). The delete-and-recreate trick
never worked: Android restores a deleted channel's settings when it is
recreated under the same ID. Because the FGS notification is always
present, those devices show a permanent '1' badge on the app icon.

- FG channel renamed ntfy_fg_service -> ntfy_fg_service_v2 (fresh
  settings, showBadge=false actually applies); legacy channel deleted
- FGS notification additionally sets BADGE_ICON_NONE, number=0, silent
