I would like to suggest an app that can perform the action of clearing the notification with a single tap on it (much like how tapping on "Screen off and lock" app will do to off and lock the screen).
I often find it annoying to have some extra notification that I need to drag down the notification, only to clear it afterwards - where I may not want to click into it. For instance, I use a profile changing app (Llama) and it will notify me for any changes in profiles, but it won't go away until I clear it off. I am sure sometimes showing a notification icon is very sufficient already to notify us about something. No need to drag down notification bar to read the content and clear it later.
I know I am lazy to drag down and clear, but a single tap on homescreen to do the job is certainly much better!
Please let me know if there is existing app already.
i don't think there is much demand for such an app, since you already can slide down and press clear
but that is just what i think of it
well i would love such an app. i've also been looking for such an app for a long time but none exists. this is good for notifications that u already know about and don't need to see them so you just clear them away with a click without needing to swipe down and then press Clear.
Would it be s widget/ shortcut?

I am fairly certain this app is not possible per OS security--an app cannot clear another's notifications.

but if you have root...
I think it's how we can duplicate or mirror the Clear button somewhere else.. either via shortcut or app or widget.. and we probably need root for that..
I dont mind using the "clear" button on my Galxy W , just so long as they STAYED clear. Whenever another notification fires, I get past notification for nearly a month previous come up! - Its bloody annoying and Ithought it was a consequence of rooting, but a friend, with the same unrooted phone has exactly the same problem, so I think this may be a bug with this relatively new model - thought OTA, 2.3.6. update might have solved it but no, - still happens - anyone else have this problem ? (p.s. - have 46 notifications re-appearing at the moment!)
Has anybody found a way to do this? I too would like this functionality. I have tasker installed and thought maybe such a task could be created but I can't figure out how.
First, you revived a 1 year thread. Second, you have clear button. Why you would want an app for that?

Yeah, the built in android notification clear button. Ob the status bar
Sent from my LT26i with Tapatalk 2
With that method you still have to open the notification bar before you can clear them.....2 steps.
The desired function is a one click solution. Like a widget you can place on your main screen you can just click to clear.
Why would this be desirable? Some of us get a lot of notifications and have very large phones. It becomes tedious to use one handed, i.e. to stretch your thumb to the top of the screen, drag the notification bar open, and click the upper corner clear button........especially when its a notification who's content we already know.
Is it a big deal? No, but there is many widgets out there that provide practically zero functionality while this one would actually do something many people could use.

+1 on this
on large screened phones like the Note, it's a major pain in the ass to reach all the way up to pull down the notification bar with 1 hand. There are workarounds such as installing Go Launcher and using the built in gestures to help pull the notification down but it's still a 2 step process to swipe down and click "Clear".
neeeedd
rly need this app....becouse i can clean all my notification whit a simple gesture in my lockscreen, no need to unloock....i cant beleave noone created this app....in google play there is so much **** and nobody creates an application so useful ... absurd ..
Resurrecting an old thread because it looks like the new "halo" feature being developed by the Paranoid Android team will have the added benefit of clearing notifications without having to stretch our fingers to the top of the screen when using the phone one-handed.

Hey all,
Does anyone know of an app that achieves the display of recently used apps in the notification dropdown area?
Essentially, performing the same function that a long press on the home button does, but obviously eliminating the need to press a button.
I've been looking for something like this for a good while, and was pleasantly surprised to see HTC had included this very function in their latest version of Sense.... when I went to the HTC London meet last week .
Unfortunately, the HTC guys demoing informed me there is currently no way to obtain this feature for current handsets.
To see what I am referring to, see the video below...
46sec <---> 51 sec
Is there an app that exists for this?
Thanks in advance,

I think that's discussed in another thread - I remember reading its not a 'proper' power down, that allows for such a quick start up.
Anyway, back on topic...
Actually I have been looking for something similar... My wife has a mytouch slide... And when you pull down notification tray it has recent 4 now I haven't tried scrolling sideways like that guy did... But that shows that it is possible cause the slide shows 4 recent...
Just have to find someone to port that I guess
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Rather than a port, which sounds like more effort, I thought an app to enable this functionality may exist.
It seems not?
its going to need a port i think, i would hope for a slightly modified version that would allow us to pin apps to it or even widgets a la galaxy s.
If you hold down the home button for a couple seconds you'll get a list of the eight last used apps.
smart bar does this an more. recent apps in drop down and/or favs and/or you can choose a certain app and/or many many more options, i cant remember. you have option to enable all or only recent apps via settings and checking off the check boxs.
i use on my a81e tablet and it works well. my long press of home button is buggy due to fw so this come in handy very much

Does smartbar have a big footprint?
Would really love an app that does 'just' this.

No worries

The power button on my N1 has been giving me fits, and given the number of people I've read about with "dead" power buttons, I think mine is going out so I'm trying to preserve it as long as possible.
I enabled trackball wake (using CM6) which takes care of 1/2 the equation, but I need a good lockscreen app (just something to make the phone go to sleep). I found one in the market called Lock Screen Enabler, but it's not a "true" lockscreen app and it's very buggy, causing all sorts of problems for me.
I've been a web developer for 8 years and recently got into Android development (which I hope to be doing full-time soon), so I thought I'd just code a quick app for personal use in 5 minutes.
The problem, however, is that the DEVICE_POWER permission is needed in order to call goToSleep() and from what I've read so far from other online posts, this permission is only granted to native system applications.
Since my phone is rooted, I even tried granting my application SU privileges, but that doesnt seem to work either.
So, my question boils down to how do I grant my application DEVICE_POWER permission? I figure if anyone out there knows the answer, it's going to be someone on XDA as this place is full of geniuses. Thanks in advance!!
UPDATE: I've attached the finished app. Made this for personal use but if anyone wants to use it they are welcome to. My only gripe about it right now is the "screen flicker" that happens when you launch it because it's trying to launch an app that immediately locks the screen and finishes itself. If I can figure out how to get the app to launch in a smaller window maybe I can minimize the size to reduce the screen flicker. But for now, this works and I can set it to launch when I click the clock on Fancy Widget, so I'm happy. Thanks again to everyone who offered answers to my questions. Just another reason why I love the Android development community!!

It seems that you'll need to add the application as a device administrator. There seems to be some decent information half way down this page under Device policy manager: Link.
I'd be interested in using this application as I can't change the icon of my previously mentioned widget.

I will probably still go ahead and create one. I like how with FancyWidget you can set it so clicking the clock will launch an app. Unfortunately it doesn't work with widgets, so I need an extra icon on my home screen just to lock it. If you have an icon you'd like me to use, feel free to share and I'll put it in
And thx for the info!!
I would be happy with any icon to be honest, I just don't like the lock screen widget one Good luck bud

Good call. Thx. However, I also came up with a work-around for ppl who are just as lazy as myself. There are 2 icons in the launcher. The first will lock the screen (once you enable the app as a device admin). The second will disable the app as a device admin, allowing you to uninstall at your will.
I really intended for this app to be for personal use, but if anyone wants it I'll put it up here for you to download. If you'd rather I remove the second launcher icon and just let you to disable it through Security settings, I will also do this (as really, I don't plan on uninstalling any time soon so this is fine for myself).
Thanks to everyone who helped out!!!

Does the job perfectly! I especially like how it runs as an app so I can change the icon
You're a lifesaver, or should I say power button saver
Thanks so much.
I tried to develop something similar before but got stuck. Saved me some time!
Thanks for creating such useful app for my N1. My power bt is fine, but I would like to preserve it to powering up/down the phone.
BTW, I also downloaded Lock Screen Widget to test it out. Is it possible that you can make your app to shut off the screen smoother, like LSW? I like it you set it up as an app, which is super useful for me set up as a gesture swipe on my LauncherPro dock icons.
Thanks again and keep up your good work!
Thanks again, your app is really great. But could you add a option to map it to the search button (long press) please?
Thank you!
Well, probably old questions but I didn't see any threads dealing with this.
First one is-- is there a way to select multiple emails for deleting (or moving, etc.)? Coming from a Droid X where this was option was always available. I'm using the stock email app on the Charge.
Second question-- there's an icon at the top of the homescreen that looks like a circle with a plus sign in the middle-- what is that? It looks like the VZNavigator icon but I haven't used that program yet.
Third question- regarding the four non-hardware buttons on the bottom of the screen (phone, contacts, messaging and apps)-- can I change the apps those buttons control? If yes, how? Couldn't find anything in settings.
Last question-- the Droid had a feature that I loved-- you swipe the puzzle piece to the right to unlock the screen AND/OR you swipe to the left to put the phone in silent mode, easy as pie. Loved that. Any way to achieve silence with a simple swipe like that? Or is there a widget for accessing silence?
Thanks very much,
Greg

1. In Gmail all you do is tap the check marks. Stock email app I don't know. Maybe try pressing the menu key and looking for a multi select?
2. Can't picture that. Can you provide a screenshot? (back+home)
3. AFAIK, no.
4. Any rom here has a better lockscreen. The puzzle is crap. I have the 4Tab TSM part on my phone (Gummy 2.0 FTW!). Unlock, silence, phone, and messaging.

Nothing in the menu for selecting multiple emails that I could find. That's an important feature so I gotta believe there's an option for this somewhere.

Yep. Flashed a new rom the day I got it. All roms here will root you, unless it's a stock rom rip. The swipe to silence is fixed when you flash a new rom
I wonder why the stock app doesn't have multi select. It wouldn't make sense not to have it. I'm sure it's there, we just can't find it. I can't really help you there, as I've never used it.

In the stock email app there should be little check marks on the far left side of the email. You check which ones you want to (Mark as Read) or (Delete). You should be able to check off as many individual emails as you like.

In regards to your 3rd question about changing the icons in the dock, you can only do that if you download a 3rd party launcher, such as ADW. I don't remember if you need root for it since I rooted mine 2 days after I bought it. If anything, you could always root your phone and try it out. There are packages/ROMs/kernels on this forum that you can flash to your phone to unroot it and bring it back to factory stock.
You can definitely run LPP without rooting.
My boss uses it in his DroidX and it's not rooted.

Not true. You can change icons in the dock on the Touch Wiz launcher. In the application drawer press the menu button (bottom left hand key), press the edit soft key that comes up, and drag and drop your icons to the dock.
I would recommended downloading an alternative launcher from the market to speed up your phone. Root is not required to use alternative launchers.

The circle with a cross in it (with some curved lines next to it if you have Google/Verizon location services enabled) is indicating that you have emergency GPS enabled. You cannot remove this icon without root as far as I know and you are required by law to have emergency GPS enabled.

You guys are awesome- thanks so much for the help. I will be trying out TouchWiz and ADW today, and ignoring that extra unecessary icon...

[Smart Taskbar V2]
Smart Taskbar is designed to make you use your phone one handed easily. All new V2 is even more one hand optimized. Launch any application instantly without leaving your current window. Swipe your finger or click the trigger icon anytime in any App to bring up Smart Taskbar panel for super fast app launching also works as app organizer, folder organizer, multi tasker, task killer, and shortcut manager. The App is carefully designed and implemented to make sure you can comfortable do most things with just one hand. If you are one hand operation freak and is always looking for something to use your phone easier with one hand, then Smart Taskbar 2 is the right thing for you. Although it is capable, but I still don't suggest you use my App in driving. :silly:
How is everyone saying about V1:
Showcased in XDA front page in 2010
Showcased in addictivetips front page in 2010
Showcased in howtogeek in 2011
Reviewed by lifehacker in 2012
[Some Background]
About three years ago, I introduced an app called Smart Taskbar which used a never been used technique called system overlay window to demonstrate the potential benefit of using top level window in Android Apps to create something that is always on top and always available first time. So thats why you see many many devs that use similar technique to make their Apps such as swipe pad, swapps, sidebar...etc. Many of you may not know its me who brought you the first app in this class in Android Market by the time because app Smart Taskbar V1 is not as famous as other similar apps. Probably due to lack of details or it is simply too engineering style.
During my development of V1 in 2010, I asked many friends around me to see how's their reaction with an always available, always displayed, tiny trigger button design thats is displayed all the time on screen to access a small launcher style window when pressed. All of them told me its obstructive and bad of user experience. 3 years has passed. Even Apple adopt the idea in their iOS5 called accessitive touch. I don't know did Apple engineers know about my App. But I am quite happy that my concept is accepted by Apple.
If you are interested to know more about my V1, you can refer to this XDA thread for more details:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/smart-taskbar-launch-any-app-in-2-steps/
So I decided to create a V2 to improve problems that I have in V1. I started the requirement and feature development as early as the beginning of 2012 and started real coding job in Jun 2012. Finally after about 6 months of hard coding, I released my first beta on PlayStore in March, 2013. After two more months of beta and debugging, I think its ready to announce the App to everyone on XDA today.
[Features]
☆One click in any window to access Smart Taskbar main panel without leaving your current window
☆10 speedy quick launch spots for 1 click App/Custom action launching
☆Organize Apps/Actions in groups
☆Organize Apps/Actions in folder
☆Task Switcher
☆Add unlimited number of widget to use (No more desktop space limit)
☆Gesture driven
☆Build custom action (aka shortcut) to do more
☆Do basic App management such as force stop or uninstall directly on screen
☆Sortable App list by filter of frequency, alpha numerical, or installation time
[New In V2]
☆Brand new one hand friendly design
☆All graphics now in HD quality
☆Runs different UI on Pad and Phone
☆Gesture driven
☆New folder design for you to create multi dimensional gropus
☆5 more quick launch spots
☆Sortable list
☆Free dragable trigger icon

I don't quite get you because isn't Chrome non full screen app?
For button control, it would require root for key simulation and I don't want to make ST to be a root App. So I'd suggest you try my key simulation App, Button Savior.

I need it becouse I have a Meizu MX2, tha has a own smartbar. But for many reason I had to use a customized rom that hide this smartbar, so I have chrome fullscreen without a bar (other browser has it, for example firefox, opera or safari in ios).
So, I tried you button savior, but is have to two problem for me, maybe you can help me to resolve:
1) I'd like it start when I open chrome and close when I close it. Maybe is possible to do this with tasker, is right?
2) When button savior start, I'd like to have it maximized (like a normal bar) I don't want to click on the arrow to make it apper.
Is possible to do all this?

I need it becouse I have a Meizu MX2, tha has a own smartbar. But for many reason I had to use a customized rom that hide this smartbar, so I have chrome fullscreen without a bar (other browser has it, for example firefox, opera or safari in ios).
So, I tried you button savior, but is have to two problem for me, maybe you can help me to resolve:
1) I'd like it start when I open chrome and close when I close it. Maybe is possible to do this with tasker, is right?
2) When button savior start, I'd like to have it maximized (like a normal bar) I don't want to click on the arrow to make it apper.
Is possible to do all this?
Thanks for your support!

Amazing app.Thanks a lot for this.
Thx for sharing！
anyone has suggestion for me to improve the App? I remember when I announced V1, I got lots of suggestion in my XDA thread. This time, it is quite. It would be great if it is the result of my careful feature planning. :laugh::laugh:

I bought V2 as soon as I saw it -- been a happy user of V1 since early on.
One thing I've noticed -- alphabetical sorting of the apps doesn't actually seem to show them alphabetically for me. I can't figure out what order they're displayed in ... perhaps the name of the APK as opposed to the app name?
Also, as some have posted in the Play Store comments, the circular Quick Launch spots look nice but they're a little small on my HTC One and don't show the app very clearly.
Saw this yesterday and installed it. Bought it today. Incredible app. Samsung should give this a good look. Absolutely the best organizational app I have used.

an amazing app. Can't give any suggestion at all. But just found folder item limit of 5 is too low. Will u change it to more? I think from the size of folder container, 4x3 (12) should be not a problem. hope u can enlarge the limit.
how do I move the trigger button to the left side? as soon as I click on it, stb opened up.
also, how do I clear out the quick launch buttons?

You press and hold on it for about 0.5S. Then you should be able to move it. For clean up all quick spots, there is no such function yet, I will try to add it later.

Here's a screenshot I took yesterday that I believe shows the strange sort order I posted about. Jerryfan2000, any idea what's going on here?
This may be a small issue for you guys but I moved from OnePlus 6 and its killing me just because I can't do this customisation of dragging the notification bar down by double tapping the home button. I have small hands compared to the tall display of the rog 5 and I'm unable to reach the notification bar all the way up. MKBHD said this is the most ridiculous custom phone but where's my small custom. How do I place a request for this to asus? I'm helpless.
you can use swipe down in home screen for notification panel. similar to one plus.
is the double tab home button for the not center while in apps or in the home screen?
Man, some people like to complain instead of trying to learn how to use their phone. If you don't like the phone don't come and complain about it, simply sell it and move on instead of wasting others time.

i am not sure that i agree with you on this, xda forums and other communications platform were built to help people
yes the quuestion was fairly simple, however anyone has the right to ask.
also i think ROG 5 xda forums needs a mod who should create FAQs, restructure the forums, and moderate it.
if we continue like this it is going to be a mess, and hard to get something useful out of it

I'm with @m8822 on this one. This is the developer community; we defined #NeverSettle ages before OnePlus made a complete mess of that understanding. We're not here to accept what manufacturers force upon us. We don't need to learn how to use our phone, our phone needs to learn how to use us! No wait, that came out wrong. Anyway, you get the point
@Madridistas It's been a while since I've used any navigation replacements but you could give our in-house Navigation Gestures a go. I'm not sure if it provides double tap to notifications but may open another door to your goal. Only, ROG 5 is Android 11, isn't it? That probably won't work. Ah well, there's plenty others to try, like Gesture Control or Edge Gestures (or search for more). Whichever you find best, don't forget to get back here and tell us what you found working so it may help others in the future.
The forum mess is by design. Change is never easy... but it can be fun!

Wow, I am with @me on this. Everyone seems to not get the point that I was making, you have the very right to come here @xda, ask whatever questions you feel is needed to be answered, after atleast doing your part(share) of understanding the thing you have.
It's like "someone asking where are my eye glasses, when they are over his head because he forgot he put them over there at the first place and then asking everyone passing if they saw them".
The point is: "GET TO THE POINT", no need to complain about something not related to the question, at the same time do your share of investigating something.
If you look @my account, you will know I am not a newbie, I have asked and answered, created many threads helping others!. So please spare me the... "I, we have the right speech...."
Thanks for your time, and sorry for the irrelevant comment!
Edit: I might seem harsh with my response, but I don't know why when I read the post the first time it seemed like the author was complaining, so I am not sure if he edited the post, or it was my bad coming the way I did. Anyway I apologize if i did, no offense intended.

Yeah, your comment seems quite harsh up until the edit. Ah well
You may have missed the (attempt to a) humorous tone in my message. Text, huh.
We surely don't need to snap at each other. I'm not having that kind of discussion.
The post wasn't edited btw.
And I get your point but no need to drag @me, @xda and @my account into this

This may not be a perfect solution but... if you dont mind using a home launcher, Nova launcher has customizable gestures. You can set "double tap the home screen (not button)" to expand notifications. im coming from a 6t also and currently using Nova with the "swipe down" option to expand notifications and double tap to lock the screen.
edit: There is also an option to single tap the home button to expand the notifications while on home screen. so if you are inside an app, say google chrome, you would essentially double tap to open notifications.
1 tap takes you home.
2 taps opens notifications.
Here's how to add Android 11's double-tap gesture to any phone
An app called "Tap, Tap" adapts the shelved Android 11 double-tap gesture for use with almost any modern device running Nougat 7.0 and above.

I can do the swipe down at home in any phone but I can't do it inside an app like WhatsApp or chrome. You know how far the top is to reach with the thumb in ROG phone. I'm attaching the settings screenshot from OnePlus.

Thank you, that's very helpful but I wish I could have this same feature in the stock rom let me try nova and get back here.
