I have a notification to run scans but there's no way to remove/clear the notification.
I've turned all the settings off and it doesn't let you force kill in app info.
I HATE BLOATWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Go into settings then App manager and disable the apps that you can. Or you can use root and freeze the app. The app won't run after that so there should be no notifications. That's what I did.

Been using advanced task killer and love it. I have been using the auto killer but it kills data and voice.
Does anyone know which apps or processes to add to the exception list to prevent that?

Protip: Task-killers are absolutely worthless on Android. If you want to manage running apps, get something like Autostarts that changes PERMISSIONS.

That is really true, I had always heard that but until I actually used Autostarts did I realize how it handles the system and running apps, all basically on it's own.
The android system is meant for apps to be opening automatically. Now if you are rooted there is an app that you can manually choose which apps you want to run or not. Inside the app it even let's you stop system app from opening also, but I don't recommend stoping those. You will see system apps in yellow and regular app in white. When you click on the app you want to disable it will tell you if you want to disable or enable. Since I did this my battery saves a little more and my phone runs smoother. If you have problems downloading app message me I can send apk.

Ok, this is my first day with this marvelous device. I installed Tweet caster, as it was my go to twitter app on my EVO. After I installed Tweet Comb and became fascinated by it, tweet caster on the xoom just doesn't carry too far.
Right now, both are giving me notifications and it's annoying, but I don't want to uninstall caster, either. Other than a reboot, what will fix this issue? Can't you simply exit an app? Do I need an app killer? I've been told app killers are unnecessary with Android, but on my EVO I use the app killer all the time.

I don't use either app, but check the settings. You should be able to turn off notifications. In settings, apps, manage apps though you can stop an app. DO NOT USE A TASK MANAGER.
I agree that task managers that automatically kill apps are no longer required by android. However, in order to close apps easily I use an app called Active Apps, since a lot of apps tend to linger in the background. Put the widget on your desktop and it will give you a running tally of how many apps are running and allow you to opt to quit one or all of them.

I don't know if this will be easier for you, but if you have to kill an app you can also find the app in the drawer and drag it onto the "i" , which will take you to the same spot as finding the app in "settings/applications/manage applications/" then finding the app.

What are the apps that can be safely frozen on ICS
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
With ICS you can now "disable" apps from the app manager. If the "disable" icon is available to select, then it should be safe to do so. All disabled apps will be transfered to the bottom of the list.
I am curious, how do we disable apps in manage apps screen. I can see all listed apps but I didn't see any disable button there. Can some one explain as how to do this? Or as m I missing some thing here..
Edit: found it. Seems disable shows up for only system apps. Not the AT&T apps bloatware.

You can use Titanium backup to freeze apps.

Disabling is the same as freezing in ICS.

See the link below for guidance. But you'll have to experiment on your own.

Has anybody had a look at the permissions that Facebook is requesting?
I've tried using permission manager to revoke certain permissions, But the app then force closes. I think I'll be using the mobile web version from now on.

Wallpaper, Sync, Network and Accounts seem alright. System tools is because of Facebook home. I don't like the App info, Status bar or Audio settings (e.g. inside a conference).
I have the same problem

You could try enabling Privacy Guard from app settings dialog in CyanogenMod
