Disable Real-Time Protection active icon from notification bar ?

[d4005]

I've seen this answer but it's nearly a year old, so I'm hoping there's a solution since then.

I want my real time protection and I want to be notified if MB finds anything. What I don't want is a permanent 'm' icon in the notification bar. Every time I look at my phone I think I've got an email. It's very similar to the Gmail icon.

In that answer above it mentions that Google requires an icon to be there is something is running in the background.

So why don't I have an icon for Whatsapp?

Why don't I have one for Tasker?

Why don't I have one for the two separate weather warning apps I have?

Then there's a Corona app, ok, I'll stop listing the dozens of apps I've got that "run in the background" but don't feel that they have to provide me with a permanent notification bar icon.

Surely just turning it on by default but letting people turn it off if they choose to satisfies Google's suggestions.

Disabling RTP until a solution appears.

Those apps mentioned are not anti malware apps and do not have real time protection is my guess.
