Missing android functionality usually found in android settings app.

Aside from messaging apps, lots of android apps (especially games) generate spam notification just to try to get you to play the game more often. I get a lot of those from games my kids play on my phone. On an android device you can disable app notifications in the Settings app. Can we have a similar setting for Alien Dalvik please?

There are other features of the Android Settings app that are not available on Alien Dalvik, such as positioning settings and sync configuration. Could there be a single sailfish android settings widget that covers all of these?

A logical place for it to slot into the UI would be through each Android app's icon in the 'App' section of Settings. This being Sailfish, it would be good to have options that standard Android won't give you, such as the ability to disable bacjground services for an app, or forbid it some of its permissions (at your own risk of course)
