1033254 - Make use of tags to properly distinguish and handle the different dialer notifications

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Dialer, defect)

Description

[Gabriele Svelto [:gsvelto]]

The dialer was recently converted to use new style notifications but fails to leverage the new features to properly distinguish between different notifications or close existing ones:

- Facebook-related notifications are flagged by "hiding" parameters in the icon URL: https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/blob/b0ddb2122771e25cdd880359406a53b10cdc0507/apps/communications/facebook/js/fb_sync_init.js#L76

- We clean all notifications upon opening the call log irrespective of where they were coming from, this makes it hard to add new ones that need to persist: https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/blob/b0ddb2122771e25cdd880359406a53b10cdc0507/apps/communications/dialer/js/call_log.js#L1063

To clean this up and make notifications a little more manageable we should use tags to properly distinguish notifications instead of abusing the icon URL and close only the missed-calls notifications when starting up.

I'm putting this under dialer-most-wanted because we're basically limiting the dialer behavior to cope with API limitations that haven't been in place anymore for over a year.
