  I think the developer can change the notification channel ID (which they use to group similar notifications and the user can disable a specific channel) and then you basically start with a channel without previous settings. You would have to disable all notifications for an app completely (not just a specific type) to prevent this for the future.

          I think I'll try that. I guess that'll work for LinkedIn/Office as well? However, not sure if the BYOD policy will like that.

    That's actually what I ended up doing to 'fix' it. It's disappointing, yet not surprising, to learn it's intentional subversion of the API.
