[Q] changing notification positions in the status bar

I have the Power Toggles app with a list of toggles in the pull down status bar and a battery indicator on the status bar itself. Now normally in previous version of android, the battery indicator and toggles always takes highest precedence, ie the battery indicator will always be on the leftmost of the status bar and the toggles always on the top of the pull down.
Now with lollipop, I noticed that when a new message or email comes in, this new notification will temporarily take precedence over my toggles and indicator, so the message will be leftmost and topmost. I'll have to pull down the status bar before it switches to a position lower than my toggles.
It may not sound like a big problem but it is annoying to me. Is there any way to make my toggles be leftmost and topmost always?

Overlay app no longer working properly for notification bar

Hello,
I use an app called Display Brightness which allows me to toggle the brightness instantly with an overlay bar in the notification bar. I just installed it onto my S8+ and it doesn't appear within that notification bar, it displays it just under it which kind of ruins any apps that require text input at the top (which seems to be a lot).
Is there any reason for this? Or is there any alternative app which allows instantly display toggle from the notification bar?
Thanks

Look at screenshots attached.
This is what i use
One app is called Lux Dash (Play Store)
Other snapshot is an app Shortcutter ((Play Store)
It might give you some idea what to do.

The built-in brightness bar can even be shown just above the notification bar, without having to expand the quick settings panel.
And apparently in the future Android O the TYPE_SYSTEM_OVERLAY will be deprecated and apps overlaying the status bar will no longer work.

Please delete this post, it duplicated for some reason after editing

Hmm that's disappointing that they are going to make this feature obsolete, this app has been by far the most useful ever, oddly, when I restart the S8, the brightness toggle overlay does appear in the notification bar but then after a few minutes, it appears further down again as shown in the screen shot.
This screen shot shows the S7 toggle bar working perfectly
This screen shot shows the S8 working less perfectly lol
I understand the default one can show at the top of the notifications bar but that requires the drawer being pulled down doesn't it? This app allows toggle immediately from the top of the phone on any app etc without any further touch

Disable notifications

Hello All,
My question is that how can I disable the notification on the notification bar per app.
I just want to disable for example Viber icon and notification on the notification bar, but I want the LED notification only.
If I disable the notifications in app settings, the Viber want to enable it.
I just do not want the Viber icon on the notification bar, but the LED notification is "nice to have".
I checked the Play for this kind of apps without success.
I just surprised with this Android version, because on my old Galaxy S5 (android 6.0.1 note 7rom), this setting is available, when I long press the notification on the notification bar. I can simple disable it.
Or it is because of the Custom rom? I don't think so...
I'm using the below rom on my S5 deivce

You can change it from your settings menu, either in the notif area or your app's settings.

No, it can't change. i just tried. if I disable it, all notification has been blocked from the app with LED notification, not just the statusbar or notification bar notifications.

I just attached some picture about my problem.
When I turn off the notification on notification bar, the app will require to enable it. On my old phone as I mentioned, it was easily to disable the notification on statusbar and on the notification panel.
Is there any solution or app for do that? For better understanding: I want the LED notification, but without notification panel notification.
The last picture contains the setting what I looking for... it is from my old Samsung Galaxy S5 (note 7 custom rom) marked with red.

How to prevent an app from hiding most of the notification bar ?

Hello, some apps hide most of the notification bar, with only battery and time visible, is there a way to force them to show the rest or at least the wifi signal ? My phone is on android 4.1.2.
