I just got a new S5 and it has downloaded an update. I am not sure what it is, but I plan to use towel root and try to keep from tripping my knox. How do I dtop the update (I told it NOT to update now) but it still has a notification that it is there. How do I get rid of it?

From the notification long press it and go to app info. Unchecked show notification.

I'm trying to figure out how to stop updates and remove the notification on my Nexus 5. I've attempted a few ways I've seen people suggest to no avail (including what seems to be the most popular here on xda... dropping FOTAKill.apk into the /system/app folder). Anyone have a way to do this without touching any of the other background services?
Edit: I *think* it's gone, and I believe the FOTAKill.apk did work eventually. I had to download the update, delete the update out of cache, and then tell the updater to initialize. It did its countdown as if it would update, got to zero, and did nothing - but "Cancel Install" was still there. After that, the notification hasn't popped up again (I did a reboot as well)
i got the notification that i could download the mm 6 ota yesterday. instead of doing it right away, i did a factory wipe, so that the phone would be cleared up, first. after doing that, i no longer have the notification. did i lose my place? i don't want to do this via desktop method. phone isn't rooted.
how long do you suspect it will be before it will show up again?
all is good. it came back, and i'm updating right now.
As the question states, how are you going about updating your stock rooted N5 every month?
I'm looking for the path of least resistance here. I suppose another option is to suppress the System Update Available notification somehow and just update less often.
I have the same question.
I know that you CAN remove the notification by holding on the update notification and choosing to disable he notifications for it.
But I would love to know how to easily update without having to flash the new stock ROM every time (and without pushing via adb from the computer.)
So I SWEAR I saw this mentioned somewhere earlier today but after searching I can't seem to locate it.
As the title says. I have Automatic system updates turned OFF. Turned that off right after I got it unlocked and rooted.

Today I get a notification regarding Android 7.1 Update. I didn't tap on it, couldn't clear it. Was concerned that the update might auto install without my permission or something. Well that hasn't happened, and NOW the notification is gone. I don't want to update yet...
I was thinking that turning off automatic system updates would mean it wouldn't even check to know there was an update. Am I going to be living with a nag that comes back with a hair trigger update button. Had that on Samsungs in the past. Will make you crazy always having to tell it NO try tomorrow every day...
Just wanted to see if anyone had seen this behavior or if I was just loosing my marbles here.
Thanks!
Screwit, just sideloaded the update. Everything is good, unlocked, rooted, customer kernel etc...
I'm coming from OnePlus devices where this was never an issue for me in 6 years.
Is anyone else still on A10 and rooted, getting hard pushes from Google to update to A11? I've disabled both Dynamic System Updates and Factory OTA Mode apps to try to block updates from occurring and also stop getting pestered about it. After having to factory reset my device once, and re-load all my backed up apps and data, I continue to get push notifications to install A11. The one I just received was a normal-looking notification in the notification shade with a button to push to start the update process. This is something I could have easily accepted by accident. This already happened to me once, apparently.
--------Does anyone know in what directory Google stores a downloaded OTA update?
I have a feeling it is on my device now and I want it off. I have root and can get to hidden system folders. I assume it's in one, I just don't know what to look for.
--------How do I block from every automatically updating, permanently?
I have the system update on reboot unchecked in developer options, but is there something else I can do just kill this process?
Edit - I found the notification to turn off in Google Play Services so that should stop, but I'm still nervous about the OTA lying in wait to install on my phone.
