You can set the notification to "Hide" in the App properties screen. You don't have to swipe it away/close it.

  But then it hides all notifications. I still want to know when I received a new email or message. Again, Cyanogenmod based on Android 4.4 was better here: I could selectively hide notifications with certain contents. In Android 7, I can only choose not to display notifications from a certain app. I still have to write something that reads notifications and kill them selectively, but then I guess such a service would get killed as well without its own annoying notification... (The "you must update google play services to use this app" notification (which is a falsehood) is also annoying the crap out of me, another issue I didn't have on 4.4.) I didn't actually know the wake lock would still work if you hide an app's notifications, I thought the notification was the prerequisite for not getting killed.
