most apps put notifications in the notification bar - IMO, the notification bar is superior to anything the iPhone does. Even with a PIN Lock, I can see icons telling me i have notificationas and which kind - SMS, IM, eMail, Skype, etc. All have their own icon, so for me this works better then a single notification app.
Most apps, have their own settings to allow notifications.
I too was looking for this, but now prefer the notification bar system. The popups are annoying, and only useful when using the phone if at all.
Handscent SMS has popups and quick reply if you really want to try that.
Im also using apps the nag me that their is a notification. Handscent does this, and im still dealing with how to do it for calendar. TouchWiz and Google's calendar apps really lack the features.
I jailbroke my phone mainly for notification bar icons. I want to know if i get something without having to swipe to unlock and then enter a PIN. I should be able to see that stuff from the lock screen.
try NoLED from the market place. It's free and pretty useful. When your phone is in sleep mode, it will show an icon of whatever notification you get (e.g. a mail icon for message, or cassette for voicemail)
It also keeps the background black to save battery! Very customizable, and I highly recommend it

I am hoping someone can tell me what is causing this notification. I get two different notifications every time I get a sms/mms message and I actually have to click clear to remove one of them. the other one goes away when i press it. I need to get rid of the one with the yellow arrow, I am pretty sure it is an app doing this but i cant figure out which one and its driving me crazy heh. Thank you.
Do you have handcent or chomp, etc. You gotta turn off stock notifications if you are using one of those.
do you have another sms app installed? like handcent sms? in the application settings there will be an option to display notifications, or just uninstall it.
there is also a setting in the default sms app that has an option to show or not to show a notification icon, but since it seems like your using the default one you want to keep it on..
I dont think I have any sms apps installed, although I have been sick the past week and playing with my phone while on pain killers so its possible but I dont think so. I want to keep the default sms notification not the other.
edit: I for sure do not have chomp or handcent installed.
never mind guys.. I found out its a side effect of beautiful widgets part 2. uninstalled it and its gone.
I just found this out
disabling the badges is up to you. For most people it's convenient. But to a select few it might be distracting, annoying, ugly , whatever.
ALSO if you longer see badges and you want to see them again skip my little story \/
I disable notifications for text because my friends don't know what privacy is . But they still find out that I have new messages. They're badges on the launcher, app drawer, notification bar when you pull it down and look at your recent apps and when you hold home. Even if you disable notifications there is still a small badge that tells you how many txt, emails, etc you have. I found a way to turn that stupid **** off.
If you use ADW (could be any third party launcher I still haven't tried any other out) the badges obviously disappear from the app drawer . But they also disappear from the notification bar and when you hold home . The only place they still show up is the lock screen. I download widget locker but you can do whatever. Also if you noticed that your counter badges disappeared uninstalling (if any) third party launchers could fix that.

Just don't let your mates use your phone! Or put a pattern lock on
Or just get the facial recognition App. Then they won't be able to get into anything

facial recognition app?
Maybe I'm a bit lost. What do you mean by "Notification badges" with the stock Sense, I never remember seeing ANY notifications other than on the lock screen and notification bar.
To disable messages on the lockscreen, go to Settings -> Privacy -> Uncheck display message text.
And personally, I think your friends suck. If they're the kinds of people who would snoop over your phone to see what they are doing then I wouldn't invite them over. Just password lock your phone, and don't give it to them, it's that simple.
I have seen multiple threads about people asking why android notification ro status bar shows not only the Contact but also the message received via
SMS, or
Whatsapp, or
other social applications.
Now rather surprisingly, this is covered in iphone ios where you can disable notifications and alerts but stil have badges for icons showing missed count. This thread is not for the missed count since we all know how to get them. The issue is how to get rid of the notification bar pull down which shoes your message to anyone using or testing or praising your phone.
There are three possible solutions to this,
Disable notifications.....this cant be done through android os because the only option we have is to disable sms notifications and not for other apps like whatsapp.
Lock the notification bar....this means that even if the notification icon is there, you cant pull it down. Or maybe a passsword to pull it down.
Auto Clear notifications.. This means a utility that automatically "CLEARS" the notifications as and when they are received. Which will mean we stil have the notification sound of a message, the unread count is stil there ons creen but notification is cleared from the status bar
Is there a decent notifications manager on the lines above for android?
Has anyone ever found a way to disable, hide, lock or autoclear the notifications.
I am not talking about hiding the task bar like in launchers. but maybe a way to PERMANENTLY HIDE the status bar.
Someone?
Go to /system/app (Your device is rooted, right?) and freeze/remove SystemUI.apk
If you don't understand what I am saying above, don't try it or it will bring you to more trouble.

I am on LG optimus 3d and root is not an option.
Nevertheless, i understand the framres.apk, but i would want to know more about system UI you mentioned? Mind shedding some light?
thanks
Any help fellows?
[Q] How do you disable scrolling sms notifications in the notification bar.
I specifically have the Atrix if it matters but have a friend that needs ot done as well and I am unsure of their phone. I have checked the settings tons and couldn't find anything. Is there an app that allows me to still use the stock sms application but just disable the scrolling notification?
I do wish to still keep the envelope just not the scrolling text.
Don't know about the Atrix, but on the Samsung stock messaging app, open the app>settings>notifications>untick.

If I turn of the notifications within the stock app it removes the envelope as well. I would llike to keep that if possible so I have some sort of notification I have a message but without it previewing the message with the scrolling text
I have a rooted Nexus 5 and I flashed the factory image for Android Lollipop. I like the clean design but I don't really like the heads-up notifications. You know, the white pop up at the top that covers 25% of your screen. I'm trying out QKSMS and I see a little icon when I get a message, that's enough for me so I don't need an extra notification. It also sometimes pops up when I receive something from Facebook Messenger, but not always for some reason, which is also quite annoying. So is there any way to disable the heads-up notifications? Thanks in advance!
Agreed. I prefer notifications to be discreet. I don't want the contents of private texts to pop-up onscreen if I'm showing something to a friend/co-worker. It would be nice to be able to choose between the Kitkat style of scrolling ticker text in the status bar and L's heads-up notifications. Or to turn them both off and simply have the app icon appear in the status bar, requiring a notification shade pull-down to view the contents.
Choice is good.
I dislike it because often I can't deal with the notification straight away, but still want it in the notification draw for later. With these heads up notifications (which I get for EvolveSMS) I can't get it out the way without it being completely dismissed, it's annoying.
This could be solved with simply adding the function that swiping up will send it to the notification draw
Yeah I'm currently inclined to stick with KK until I know that the worst aspects of Lollipop can be controlled. Obviously in the absence of Xposed on ART it's difficult to make little tweaks here and there.
Heads-up is right at the top of my list. I have always liked how notifications NEVER attack my screen space in Android 2.0-4.4 and I'm not about to go along with a regression to iPhone-like behaviour. When I can disable it globally or on a per-app basis I'll be much more comfortable with the idea of upgrading.
My other biggest concern: The old Silent mode functionality was to allow user-configured audible alarms, while shutting off all other audible notifications and silencing all vibrations. The new modes, you have to choose between a None that also silences alarms, or a Priority mode that lets vibrations leak through.
It's kind of hilarious actually, this is the first time in history that I've been dragging my feet on an Android upgrade when all my less techie friends are upgrading. In the past I'd be proud to be the first one to upgrade and show it off to everyone stuck on the old version.
So, a few weeks later... Are there any ROMs or mods that allow users to disable the heads up feature entirely across the board?

I hate heads up, they are very intrusive, i prefer something more discreet...
I apololgize for bumping this old thread, but has there been any update with this? I'm looking for an SMS app that allows you to disable the heads up style pop-up notifications, but also allows you to reply from notifications. Textra and ChompSMS allow you to disable heads up notifications on Lollipop, but they dont allow you to reply from notification (like EvolveSMS, QKSMS). I'm looking for an app that incorporates both features. Any luck?
With HeadsOff lollipop heads-up notifications can now be disabled!
No root needed.
You can also restore the ticker text in the statusbar!
