Ubuntu Phone notification: having to click on the icon is not obvious

[costales]

In the BQ E4.5 Ubuntu Edition, if you got a new notification, you have to click just in the icon for going to the application.

By example: You receive a Telegram message. You dragdown the status bar (green envelope) and you see the message. If you click in the notification nothing happens. You need to click in its icon.

This is not intuitive.

Thanks in advance!

------ UX Comment ------

We've added in the latest specification for Notifications in the Notification Centre the ability to launch the originating app by tapping on any part of the body of a notification list item. Page 29: Link to the spec:https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/document/d/1xDSZ_dnAMAlhgFnnyjJEibaITXjVLp1_pnj_tATNm9I/edit#heading=h.2kihdtv7as7e

Added a design task and marked the dev task as incomplete as it'll need design input.

[Pat McGowan (pat-mcgowan)]

Even knowing its difficult to hit the icon reliably

[Michał Sawicz (saviq)]

We won't be able to make it by ota9 because this would require all of the redesign to be implemented as today a tap expands the notification, so we'd lose that functionality.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Nick Dedekind (nick-dedekind)]

Is the UX spec given still current?

In the spec, all secondary actions have been removed from the notification center (ie. no inline reply or callback for messages/missed calls). This needs to be confirmed again by UX.

Note this only addresses simple notifications, others such as SMS messages which an be replied to still work the same way as they did requiring the icon to be pressed.
