If continuing isn't an option, then a way to dismiss it without rebooting the phone will also do. So, does anyone know what this notification's purpose is? And what exactly got stuck while being processed? As a bonus, I'd like to know how to 'continue' whatever got stuck. The ellipsis seems to suggest that there could be text below the progress bar, but not sure what it would display. It's about 10am now, and it's still 'stuck' at the same place.

The notification appears to display some sort of progress, but whatever it was processing, it no longer is. It's also persistent: I cannot dismiss it by swiping it. Tapping on the notification shows the familiar ripple effect, but nothing happens. I didn't notice the notification until after arriving at the office (roughly 1h 15m later). Based on the timestamp, I may have simply missed it. I don't remember the notification popping up immediately, but I did put away my phone right after taking those photos. These are not the first photos I've taken with this phone. Looking at their meta data, they were taken at the exact time it shows in the notification. I've been using my Nexus 5X for about a week now, but this morning was the first time I noticed the following notification:īackstory: I snapped a few photos this morning (w/ default camera app). Asks: What's this persistent Camera-app notification in Android 6.0?
