[APP IDEA] Clear notification with one touch

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?

It could be either, as long as it does the job.

I too would be interested in this...

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?

First off, the last post was 6 months ago so I consider this a 6 month old thread not a 1 year old one. Second, revived thread = searched......something we all encourage here on xda. Third, what is the clear button you speak of? Is this a one click solution as was the point of this thread?

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.

[Q] Hide System Bar on ICS?

Is there a way to hide the system bar?
maybe something like THIS?

+1
Love this idea

Try the link below for the apk........... i havent tried it on ics yet
was just going to post up as an attachment but its not frickin working on the ics browser
http://ppareit.github.com/HideBar/

it is not working for me

me either - sorry guys

From what I understand, Google pretty much locked it out completely, so it's impossible at the moment to hide the status bar. It's really annoying. :/
From the author of Honeybar: "*** Important note for ICS users: Honeybar is unsupported on ICS and will not hide the UI bar. I have examined the source for ActivityManagerService and it currently appears impossible to stop com.android.systemui"

Damn that sucks. I hope Google changes their mind or someone finds a way around this problem. I find it extremely irritating to use video and reading apps with the system bar at the bottom.
I guess I will stick with Android 3.2 for now.

There's a tweak for the Galaxy Nexus that remove the bottom bar entirely, and the person who posted it says to use ButtonSavior (on the market) to replace the soft keys. The newest AOKP rom also includes a feature to remove the navigation bar which I assume is pretty much the same as the bar on tablets.
The mod is over on RootzWiki, not sure if I can post links to it, or if it will work for the TF or could be adapted for it.

See, it's things like this that make me wonder. Why in the world would google, or anyone, lock things down so much that nobody can change anything? Disabling the status bar in honeycomb didn't do any harm. I never heard a single complaint of a bricked tablet or software problem because of disabling the status bar.

Yes!!!
Team EOS has the option the hide the system bar in an easy to use manner.

Where?

Where? Searched for "status" "system" "bar" "hide" in varying combinations as well as individually. Could you point me in the right direction. TIA.

From looking around the framework-res etc what i have seen that ICS is based on a theme called holo. Now if we could modify the framework-res and strip the black and make it transparent it should be able to be done. Decompiling it has been no problem however I am too new at themeing to provide any definite answers to recompile framework-res as i have tried but it just will not register as a proper apk. There is one issue with that however, the holo theme is involved with almost everything to do with the system. Example backgrounds for the menu system and the onscreen keyboard and a pile of other stuff plus the assorted icons would still be present back button home apps button clock and wifi.

It's part of the ROM. They don't appear to have a separate app to hide the system bar, so we have to use the full rom for now. It works the same way pre-ICS Revolver did.

Couldn't find anything on Team EOS tread about it.

Its weird... My Novo7 Basic is hiding the statusbar automaticly on both HC and ICS, but the TF isnt :s

With EOS for TF101 you press the power button to get the menu option to hide the status bar. The menu is shown in baseballfanz's post.

This works perfect on my A500 running ICS 4.0.3 rooted using live wallpaper - no issues whatsoever, thanks for the tip! Also really liked the gestures part of the whole thing as I can make apps launch from anywhere and probably won't even use the status bar much at from now on.

[Q] is there a way to move the toolbar to top of screen?

I was just curious if there was any way to move the bottom toolbar (both samsung pop up apps bar and the system toolbars/home keys) to the top of the screen? This would make writing crap on the screen SO much easier and less annoying! I'm on an official JB ROM but am, willing to flash a custom ROM provided s-note/multi-tasking/all other samsung software that made me choose a note over a transformer prime are available to install on top of the ROM.
My sincere apologies if this has already been discussed elsewhere.
Cheers,
Nick

That would be awesome, I pull up the notification tab all the time, it's super annoying.

I second this. Right now what im doing is to use gmd gesture control to hide the status bar whenever I need to do some heavy writing.

You could try a custom launcher, Nova or Apex or whatever.
Not sure if they have that feature, but they are highly customizable so try it...

gmd gesture control
Thanks VERY much for suggesting this gesture control app, problem solved!

[Q] Disable SystemUI without disabling notifications?

greetings fellow XDA members.
need some professional help regarding the tabs' systemui.
i personally hate the system bar at the bottom, it takes up space which isnt really needed.
most of us would definitely accidentally pressed the buttons there while playing some games.
so what i usually do is to hide the system bar via honeybar.
problem is, no back home nor menu buttons. so i used an overlay. worked pretty well and soon enough i graduated to using GMD gesture control[awesome app]
now i have no system bar + freestyle gesture controls tailored to my own style.
the new problem is that since hiding the system bar simply kills systemui, i am unable to receive any notifications except toasts from su etc and using notification apps just doesnt work seamlessly like the systemui.
is there anyway to hide/kill system bar without killing the notification?
or better, is it at all possible to have a regular non tab status bar [aka top statusbar + pulldown notification] for our tab?
i apologize for being long winded, just trying to be detailed.
any help is appreciated. googling it gave diff answers not relating to tabs so im at a lost.

Only workable way I found was to
decompile framework-res.apk, track down dimens.xml and edit "status_bar_height" and "navigation_bar_height" = 0, depending on what dpi you use, I use 213 and that shows a combined bottom bar.
Its important to mention that since the combinedbar thinks its still there a transparent area still occupy the space when ex. in any dialogs that uses dimming you´ll see a area without dim, so esthetically all 3 backgroundDimAmount´s should be also set to 0 in /values/styles.xml.
Still any apps you open, will open in fullscreen and occupy entire screen..
There is a challenge if you dissable GMD, making it very difficult to return or manouver, unless I find a way to add back or home to the powermenu in CM9, which I haven´t yet..
This stops polluting catlog with systemui crashes every darn minute, wich bordered me from the beginning..
If you have ideas I am all ears
cheers!

thanks for the reply.
im a newbie when it comes to edting xml files, heck im not even sure how to decomompile the framework-res.apk but i'll tinker around for a lil bit and see what comes out of edting the files.
if its similar to editing xml files from within an apk, then i guess im safe since ive tinkered with an xml file that granted apps permission to save data to ext sd. thats a start i guess.
youve basically given me something to work with.
will get back here if i have any further queries or run into any problems with your stated workaround.

Hi, I'm not a tech geek, but interested in tweaking my tab, but if you please share your updated framework-res.apk so i can just replace it with mine :fingers-crossed:

My framework is way to heavy slimmed for your likings, but I could rather make a specific one for your current os.
PS. there is some preparations:
1. you will need to setup GMD and assign home,back,show notifications and so on..(activate GMD notification icon (optional))
2. just in case, make important shortcuts on home to apps drawer, open notification, so on if GMD stops working
3. make a restore CMW package of current framework-res and SystemUI, you might change your mind
I have not mentioned this, but sometimes GMD will be unresponsive when waking up the device (worst case 20-30sec), therefore it is wise to have some sort of backup shortcuts of some kind if you can´t wait for it to restart..
(future focus : adding home or back to the powermenu if GMD would be switched off.)

If you are rooted and running the lastest CM10 (from Aorth) or CM10.1 rom, you can use the expanded desktop option:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1u2c_s1QaI
Not sure about getting notifications, will have to try that out later...

Since you're using GMD gesture control, why not set it to disable the notification bar on some apps, but leave it open for others? You could, for example, run "fullscreen" in everything but your home screen if you wished, and just go there periodically for notifications. I also found that if you make a custom gesture to show notifications, it will both reactivate the notification bar and then pop the notifications out. You can use that gesture and then re-hide the bar manually.

As you say, he dosen´t show if notifications work, I will asume this still kills systemui in the background...

I experienced instability, it also consumes more battery when systemui is killed like this, and my logs got polluted with crash reports more or less every minute, therefore I looked for a solution to preserve both..

[Completed] How to edit that black little ticker and can I ever rid myself of my status bar?

Hello.
I was thrilled by how little time it took for my previous question to be answered. I'd like to thank Joel for his time. I think I can get ALL the help I need right here! So here I go again.
Whenever I edit a note on Colornote and exit the app, a little black rectangular window appears at the bottom, inscribed in which is the word "saved". Also, when any app is granted super user rights, I am notified in a similar fashion. What are these windows—or tickers, whatever—called? Is there an app that can help me disable or edit them? Here's my other problem: the omnipresent status bar. The joy of not being able to see it on my homescreens and app drawer, a courtesy of Solo Launcher, is only transitory; I am mocked by my navy-blue colored status bar as soon as I enter another app, it taunts me and laughs at me...assures me that I'll never be able to eradicate it. I am desperate for its permanent removal!!! I know there's a way of bibity-bobity-booing it away into nothingness. But I'm afraid I won't be able to recover it if the same emptiness—that I encountered by using an app—appears and that every app seems exactly the way it does WITH the status bar, even with its absence.
Help. Me.

Hi, thanks for using XDA assist!
First, please create an account so you can post in other forums.
The answer to your first question, they are called " toast notifications " and they tell you important information. You certainly wouldn't want to remove them, especially for super user notifications.
I must ask that you provide your device model for me to assist you further.
Thank you and good luck!

It is QMobile A5Classic.
Here's why I want to edit them: I'm a grammar nerd, and want all the "toast notifications" to be grammatically correct. The ones showed by stock apps are perfect; they have a full stop in the end. But the ones from my installed apps aren't. Here's why I want to disable them: I have this Pie Control app. It keeps on announcing that it has been granted superuser rights over and over again. It disables itself, then I am incapable of swipe-opening my pie controls. And when it enables itself again, the toast notification magically appears, both annoying and satisfying me. I even have the app ignored by my task killer. There must be something wrong with the app.
What about my WAR with my statusbar? My android version is 4.0.4 and kernel version is 3.0.13, so I don't have the much-needed privilege of the "transparent status bar" option nor that of the "immersive mode". I'm hoping you can assist me with that.
And I'm glad I've registered with XDA Developers: I'm learning a lot.
