How to Get Back the External SD Card Notification

Question

I used to have a notification whenever the external SD card was in the tablet. Recently that notification has disappeared. How can I get this notification back.



I like this notification since I am able to eject the card from it without needing to go thru the settings menu to get to it.



What is interesting is that when I insert a different card the notification is back. I only am missing it for the original card. Last time I had this problem I factory reset my tablet. I would rather not have to do this again.



I searched for a solution but only found solutions to get rid of the notification, not the opposite. I tried to reboot my device but that didn't help.



Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Answer

Another great solution, but your device must be rooted to be able to use this option (ASFAIK).



Use the sm tool
sm forget [UUID | all]
This makes the device forget the storage device with the given UUID or if you do all it forgets all the devices.



If your using Termux terminal emulator (as I am) you need to do tsu -p in order to be able to use the sm tool. If not you get an error. Basically what you need is for the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point first to the android library path and -p prepends those paths BEFORE the termux library path.



I didn't try this in any other shell or terminal, but I'm assuming it should work there as well.
