The grand conspiracy to leave Nexus owners high and dry when it comes to fancy new Google Pixel features like fingerprint gestures has finally been exposed. But as with most conspiracies, the explanation is far more pedestrian than the conspiracy nuts would have you believe.

“DO YOU WANT A TACO? C’MON, YOU KNOW YOU WANT A TACO! FREE TACOS!” blared a T-Mobile employee through a megaphone at passersby in New York City’s Times Square. Based on what I saw over the span of about 90 minutes at T-Mobile’s flagship store, yes indeed, people wanted tacos.
A constant line of about 40 people curled around the corner on Broadway and ran a short length down 46th Street. Upon entering the T-MoBell store, employees handed taco seekers some swag and let them take a selfie in front of a branded backdrop.

You may know that some Android applications run silently in the background even after you close them. These background apps can’t be stopped without killing their process, so Google normally requires them to display a persistent notification in the shade, so users are aware of this behavior.
The problem is many app developers don’t want their background running applications to display persistent notifications, simply because users generally prefer to keep their status bars uncluttered.
