Do you mean the notifications for things such as when there are updates for apps in the Market, or when your Facebook or Twitter client alerts you to new messages? As far as I'm aware Android in general (not just Honeycomb) doesn't have a built-in system to 'auto-clear' notifications as such, it's up to the user to clear the notifications themselves. It makes sense since you might not necessarily have a chance to see the notification as soon as it comes in (e.g. perhaps you're driving at the time), so you would look at it later. Personally I wouldn't want my notifications to disappear on their own.
a "clear all" function would be great..
annoying to click each "X" at time.
same thing would be perfect for recent apps
have a way to close all, or each individual app. (maybe by adding and X on the app window or by doing a "long press"
Set the indivual apps to not notify you for things you don't care about?
Need this clear function definitely, and a way to get rid of the SD card icon. STAT!

If you haven't looked into an app called Tasker, you should. Complete automation of your Android. If your android can do something, you can set up Tasker to do it for you whenever you want it done. For example, Tasker sends my wife an SMS message as I leave my daughter's school to let her know that I have her. Tasker also changes my WiFi/Bluetooth/GPS settings whenever I get home or leave home. Tasker also adjusts ringtone volumes based on time of day. There are thousands of useful functions to configure.
One thing I like is that it will create a notification when events happen. Tasker gives a few dozen icons that can be used in that notification, but I'd like to add some to the app. The developer says that the icons to be used are limited to those that are "packaged with the app". I want to add some to that package.
I have read a few articles about adb pulling the app, editing the contents in windows, then pushing it back to the phone. Sounds like that is what I need to do. However, I can't seem to find the app in Root Explorer. Tasker is not an app that can be moved to SD, so it is somewhere in /system/app, right?
Anyone here using Tasker that can point me in the right direction?
In the Google Messages app, there are options to either "archive" or "delete" conversations. It looks like archiving them doesn't really do anything to the system SMS data and just hides them from the main screen in this particular app (ex. but other SMS apps will still see them as normal texts, and any SMS backup apps will still back them up normally). Deleting conversations, on the other hand, looks like it does just that and once deleted, they're gone and not available for other apps.
This is all based on just a quick test I did, so I was wondering if someone else could confirm I'm understanding this correctly. It would be nice to archive a bunch of my older conversations so I don't have to see them every day, but I don't really want to delete them. It looks like Messages will do exactly what I want, but I want to be sure so I don't end up permanently deleting things.
Also, does Google Messages back up my texts to my Google account? It's hard to keep track of which Google app does what with each specific "type" of message (ex. Hangouts, Allo, Messages, etc.)

The conclusion gathered from your quick tests are correct. Archiving a conversation just hides it within Google Messenger only. But it'll still be visible to any other SMS app you have installed.
Deleting though, deletes it for all your installed messaging apps. So don't delete the ones you want to keep. Archive them instead.
Google Messenger doesn't offer any kind of backup functionality (the last time I checked).
It's the Hangouts app that offers syncing to your Google account so you can have all your messages available on multiple platforms.

I have a Samsung J5 2017 and I really like secure folder
I just find out about EMUI 8 privare area and I was wondering if is possibile tu run app in background and get notification
A great feature of secure folder is that I can add a Skype app into secure folder and I have options to allow notification even when secure folder is locked
For each app inside secure folder I can chose if I want notifications
Apps run in background even when secure folder is lock, is this possible with private space? do I have an option for app notification?

i asked a similar question in another tread but no one helped me
hello everyone. I'm new on this board and would appreciate your quick feedback regarding the private space feature on the Mate 10:
If I create a "private space" and install applications in it (for example email , telegram etc ), would I receive notifications from those applications when the screen of the phone is turned off?
Also could I still use Face Unlock to unlock my phone?
Thank you very much!

I bet easiest and fastest way is to just check it yourself! In case you're the owner of one, of course.

I don't own one, I asked at Huawei promoter in store but they did not know.
Unfortunately you do not receive notifications. You can't face unlock in to Private Space. You can use a fingerprint to unlock your Private Space.
I turned off notifications for private space apps but I will test again with notifications on.
With fingerprint on for both private and mainspace, I got notifications from my private space when the screen is off. Main space notifications won't work when I'm in private space. I wish we could have an option to link apps between the two since my main space WhatsApp hangs up on people when I'm in private space.
When the phone is off and I get a WhatsApp call, the call will ring normally but when I'm in private space, my main space WhatsApp hangs up on the caller.
When some site asks for permission (i.e. location), I'm always getting this error: "This site can't ask for your permissions. Close any bubbles or overlays from other apps. Then try again." If the "bubbles" means chat bubbles, I don't use them. And which overlays should I close? All of them? I'm using Vivaldi or Chrome on MIUI 12.2.5.0 EU.
The only way I could figure out how to allow location or whatever site setting permission was to hit block permission.Click "block" instead of "allow". Then go to site settings, click on whatever permission you need, and you'll see the site is now in the "blocked" list. Just click on it and change it to allowed, and it should work.
It's tedious but it's the only fix or work around that I could figure out for when I need to allow permissions for a site without having to remove the 'overlay' or 'always on top' or 'display over other apps' permission for every one of the 20+ apps that use it, especially because some of the apps that use the permission are very helpful like bubbles for Google messages, chat heads on messenger, edge board, caller id & spam blockers, and phone apps. It's really bull**** that google or any of the other browsers hadn't figured out a workaround for this since it's been doing this forever or for as long as I can remember and it's super stupid because every other app can ****ing work fine without having to disable all the other overlays. Hope this helps somebody.
How do I change the default Contacts app on Pixel 4a running Android 11??? Aftering searching for the answer, I can tell you:
1. It is not under Apps & Notifications / Default Apps. (Yes, some apps are listed, but Contacts is not listed.)
2. It is not by Apps / Contacts / Open by default. (It says, "No defaults set")
3. I don't want to run a different launcher. I just want to use a different Contacts app.
It seems like a simple thing, I just can not figure it out.
Any help would be appreciated...
Try installing a new contacts app, then when you try an operation that normally would invoke the contacts app, it should pop up a dialog to select which contacts app should be the default (the built in one or the new one you installed).
Also, it might say "no default app" if there is only one contacts app installed on the device (so there is nothing to choose between), so trying the above will test that theory.

Sorry, should have included that info. Phone has both standard Contacts and a second app "Smart Contacts".

Maybe I figured it out. Loaded third contact app and got the choice for default! Apparently Smart Contacts does not register as a Contacts app... Thanks for the help.
Then certain apps, like the built-in phone app might be hard-coded to use the built-in contacts app for certain functions (but not all contact functions), just like the built-in camera app is hard-coded to use the built-in photos app to preview just taken pictures.
But for things like clicking on a phone number in an email should display a "Select Contact app" if you have two contact apps installed (and you have not selected a default contacts app after installing the second contacts app)

So when that "select contact app" dialog box finally did appear (after you installed the third app), are you saying that "Smart Contacts" wasn't in that list?
yup. When I loaded "Simpler Contacts" app and triggered the contacts, I got a choice between "Contacts" (Google's installed app) and Simpler. Smart Contacts did not appear in the list. (I know Smart Contacts was functional. It would load my contacts when opened.)
I really appreciate the help with this...
