Android Progress Notifications in 3.2.1.19 Trigger Alert Sounds

After upgrading to Sailfish 3.2.1.19, all progress-related Android notifications (such as checking mail in Andriod K-9 mail application) manifest as notification alert sounds (Message and/or Email tone). Previous behavior was that visual progress notification alerts would silently appear, then disappear.

Since these notifications are ethereal and not intended to necessarily alert the user of an activity that requires action or the receipt of a message, these are unnecessary and disruptive. The only workaround would be to silence alerts or disable notifications for an application, but this would disable all notifications/sounds, not just the progress notifications.
