Notification dot won't go away after launching app on google pixel 2

I have notification dots turned on for my unlocked google pixel 2 phone. Once I open the app and view content after closing the app, the notification dot is still there. It seems like once you open the app any notification dots should go away because there is an assumption that you viewed the content or acknowledged the notification in the app.
