> There's a persistent notification that never goes away, even after you tell Android not to allow notifications from the app (no idea how they did that, never seen another app do that)

This is actually a bug in Android 4.3 and nothing malicious on Blackberry's part. While fixing a bug that allowed apps to start foreground services without a notification icon, Android 4.3 inadvertently broke user disabling notifications for foreground services.
