Got a twofer here, question about what I think is a bug and about TIEs

First the bug, I've noticed every time my phone notifies me of something going on in the game (My energy is full, whatever) and I swipe the notification away, it automatically loads the game up, which is very irritating. I'm hoping it's a bug, cause I can't find an option to shut it off.

Second, with the introduction of the TIE Defender and its comment of 'Counts as an Imperial TIE Fighter', will other Imperial TIEs be getting the same treatment? Or at least some sort of synergy based on this? It feels like they should. Just like I think we're all waiting on Rebel X-Wings from the Gold, Red and Blue squads (And synergies between them)
