Pretty much the title.
There are certain icons (namely 3G Watchdog) that I want to not be on the status bar, but still visible if I open the notification drawer. Yes, I'm aware of the "hide icon" feature in 3G Watchdog, but that doesn't actually hide the icon, all it does is make the icon image blank. Android still reserves a space on the status bar for that icon, which leads to some ugly gaps like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'm using CyanogenMod 10, if that matters. And yes, I'm aware of CM10's feature allowing you to completely hide notifications from certain apps, but that would remove the notification from the notification drawer, which is not what I want. Think Google Now and its weather notification, except with me being able to apply that function to whatever app I want.
I dislike bumping, but it's been a few months and I still need an answer.
I've since upgraded to CM10.1 if that matters.
I have the same question
I'm currently using NilS notifications and have no need for app notifications to show on the status bar. It's very annoying having these notifications remain after I've already read/acted upon them. Is there any status bar mod which will hide app notifications from the bar itself? I don't care if it just makes app icons in the status bar black so they appear to be invisible. It's fine if notifications still end up in the drawer.
I've looked everywhere and tried some alternate status bar apps. The issue I've had with the alternate status bars is they've all ended up being a mask and when you pull the drop down, the alternate bars covered half of the clock and clear all button. If anyone know of any apps that won't do that, please let me know as well.
I understand Android doesn't currently allow 3rd party apps to clear status bar notifications. From what I've read, this will be changing in 4.3 but I just can't take it anymore. Any legitimate advice would be appreciated.
also on CM10.1

This could help, I was looking through posts for the same problem and have seen this, as no one has replied or helped you I will reply to this (kind of old thread)
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...us-bar-notifications-with-notification-clean/
Sorry to bring an old thread back, but anyone knows if this is possible? I would love to move Tasker notification to the drawer to free up space in the status bar.
Thanks,
Vic.
This is still very much an issue. I'm having this problem with the Quickly app - does exactly the same thing. Android still reserves the space for the icon even when invisible...

I posted this question in the screenshot thread, but wanted to get more public attention to this in hopes of finding someone who knows the answers to my questions. Thanks in advance!

What apps / widgets did you use to get this blacked out screen? Also, how did you get it to look like you did? Details would be wonderful, as i'm pretty new to the modification scene. Phone is completely rooted, and currently using Gummy Charged Rom on IMNUTS otb Kernel.
Update: Alright, I found the widgets for the text and clock and stuff you used (plan on making my own personal touch of course), now I the only thing I need to figure out is how to remove the notification bar at the top, and the icons at the bottom, and also how do you overlap widgets? One last thing, is there a way to get the normal phone lock to not show up, without losing the menu when holding power? (Make it so the screen never times out normally, but allow LockMenu app to time it out instead) If anyone else knows how he did this, would be great. Thanks!
ADW Launcher will allow you to remove the notification bar and dock icons.
Adw ex can get rid of dock and overlap widgets and hide notification bar...maybe even regular adw

+1 for ADW it will do what he said.. as for removing the lock screen without removing the power menu, there is an app called No Lock that will make it so your screen times out normally but when turned back on there is no lockscreen (also I've heard No Lock Screen app works well too plus gives you a widget to toggle lock on/off)
Doesn't work with Charge, unfortunately. At least not how I want it. Thanks for the suggestion though! As far as getting my screen how I wanted it. I'm nearly there. Just need to get the paid version so I can overlap my widgets and i'll be golden.
Go Launcher EX is free and will allow you to hide the notification bar and dock bar.
You can also setup gestures for these actions. I map Swipe-down to Open Notification (helps with the large screen) and Swipe-up to Hide/Show Dock Bar. I just double checked and you can definitely set up a gesture to Show/Hide the Notification Bar, although it says "Show/Hide Status Bar".
SiMi Clock will give you a similar clock setup. I think you can customize the crap out of that application anyway. Here's what I quickly came up with:
Yeah, ADW has a free version, but it also has a "premium" app which you need to pay for that allows you to overlap widgets. The option isn't available in the free version. I tried Go Launcher, but I like ADW more.
Exactly.. So you'd need to buy ADW Ex or tinker with custom home screen grids in Go Launcher.
Although you don't need the paid version. Simiclock has weather and battery status widgets that are 1x1. You can move them as you want without worrying about overlapping. The Calendar is extdatewidgetxl, although I prefer just the extdatewidget.
Greetings.
So like many of you I enjoy having CRT animation on any ROM that I run. I also really enjoy the Cyanogenmod option to have a shortcut in the Notification bar to put the phone to sleep.
The app Screen off and Lock is free in the Play Store, and does exactly that. It allows you to place a shortcut on your notification bar and when used, can also provide you with that CRT animation that hasn't been added to Sense 4.0 ROMS as of yet.
So why post this? Well, I'm not too big of a fan of the Status bar icon that this app puts there when you choose the option to place a shortcut on the notification pulldown.
So, I hit up my buddy @akashptl and said, "Wouldn't it be nice if someone would just remove that icon on Screen off and Lock?" 10 minutes later, he sent me the apk with no status bar icon.
So what's here?
Screen off and Lock apk with a transparent icon in the status bar.
FYI:
The process of removing the status bar icon resulted in a transparent icon for the app itself. The text is still there and if you use ADWEX or Apex Launcher (or any other launcher that supports custom icons) you can actually modify the app icon to your liking anyhow, while keeping the transparent status bar icon.
Thanks:
First and foremost BIG THANKS to Katecca for designing the app and putting it out there for all of us to enjoy.
akashptl for hooking up the mod.
Support Katecca!
If you enjoy the app, please consider supporting Katecca and buy the Donate version of the app here: http://goo.gl/bqk19
And please visit his Facebook page for more info here: http://www.facebook.com/screenoffandlock
If you do buy the donate version and would like the transparent Status Bar Icon, Send a PM, and we'll see if we can take care of that for you.
Here's a couple screenies to illustrate what was done.

Hi raycaster3,
What clock theme are you using ???
Would you share the theme ?
Can't get it to work on 3.32 based ROM, and i missed the "how to uninstall".
What should i uncheck to uninstall?
And i don't have the "All animation" option :-(
Same here, doesnt work on 3.32 based ROM, failed to install.

3.32? You mean ics? I'm running it is sgh-t989 and ordroid 1.8.4 both ics roms. That's strange I just installed it like any other app. What rom exactly are you using and I'll see if I can get it to work.
Make sure you have "Unknown Sources" checked in the security settings in ics and in the "Applications" section in gingerbread.

That feature is built into PA so no need to download any 3rd party apps!
Just go to the following:
Settings
Display
Pulse Notification Light

Yeah I figured it out, under the PA setting hit the menu button and select apps. From there you can assign the size of each app. The best one for GS3 is the smallest one which is 1.26p I believe (I switched to CleanRom 7). From there use the slider and bring it all the way to the right. Apply changes and you should be golden.
Hello all,
I generally use applock to lock all my messaging related apps & few others too.
But how do I hide the messages in the notification bar drop down list? Locked or unlocked, we can see a great deal of unread messages in the notification drop down list.
Any help to hide it will be deeply appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Narender Reddy

There should be a button like this one:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
that removes everything that can be removed in the notification bar.
but if the messages keep poping up, check the app that is creating them, sometimes they have an option to lower the frequency or to disable at all the notifications.
The Xposed Module NotifyClean might be what you seek.

No, if the mobile is with you then its not a problem.
But what if you give your mobile to a friend by locking using Applock & ppl msg u in whatsapp or messaging & everything pops up in the notification drop down list. What to do then to hide them all?
I want the notifications, its not that.
But I want it to say "XYZ has messaged you" or "XYZ has messaged you in whatsapp"
But not the content of the message for people to look, even when my apps are locked down & couldn't be opened.
& about the xposed installer, it requires root. Is there any mod or any app that hides the message content on unrooted mobiles?

i don't know about this app that occur this icon. icons show when there are notification received and the icon in your notification bar notify you. this icon occur when message arrives, miss calls, application notification(facebook, instagram, pou, etc), ads usually ads supported application and others. you can disable this icon appearance by click that app and choose disable notification. but if icon is still there after you click clear. there are problem about the app that shows this icon. maybe you can uninstall it or report to the developer who made.
Okay?
