I don't know if this is the correct forum but I can't think of any other place to put it. Sorry if I'm mistaken.
Thing is, when I'm in the Hangouts app on my phone chatting with someone and that someone replies to me the Hangouts notification comes up. It's weird because I'm on the app, I don't need to be notified for the conversation I'm having on the foreground!
It's so annoying because of the sound and also because of the statusbar constantly switching to show the notification.
Is this normal or is just my phone??
Thanks in advance.

I am hoping someone can tell me what is causing this notification. I get two different notifications every time I get a sms/mms message and I actually have to click clear to remove one of them. the other one goes away when i press it. I need to get rid of the one with the yellow arrow, I am pretty sure it is an app doing this but i cant figure out which one and its driving me crazy heh. Thank you.
Do you have handcent or chomp, etc. You gotta turn off stock notifications if you are using one of those.
do you have another sms app installed? like handcent sms? in the application settings there will be an option to display notifications, or just uninstall it.
there is also a setting in the default sms app that has an option to show or not to show a notification icon, but since it seems like your using the default one you want to keep it on..
I dont think I have any sms apps installed, although I have been sick the past week and playing with my phone while on pain killers so its possible but I dont think so. I want to keep the default sms notification not the other.
edit: I for sure do not have chomp or handcent installed.
never mind guys.. I found out its a side effect of beautiful widgets part 2. uninstalled it and its gone.
Ive been trying to figure out how to set custom ringtones for txts for individual contacts but havent gotten anything. Can anyone help?
Use handcent sms from the Market. Turn off notifications in your stock messaging app once you've installed it to avoid double notifications. In the thread for the person whose notification tone you want to change, tap the button in the top right (the person with a gear) and choose notification settings, then notification sound.
There's no way to do it through the AOSP contacts or sms app.
thank you but thats for android. I forgot to mention I use the touch pro 2. I appreciate the help tho.
Like the title says, I wanna know if there is an solution to hack android (2.2) to not display notifications in status bar when a SMS is received or a call is missed.
I simply don't want them because I use LauncherPro: it can display very well this kind of notifications in the dock icons so the status bar ones are unneeded. Also, I don't wanna hide status bar, I need it for other notifications like 3G watchdog, WiFi etc.
With a simple Google search doesn't seems to find something useful.
Thanks in advance!
for messages its easy just go to message and settings then disable the notifications and for calls im not sure this might solve half your issue

Thanks for your answer. Yes, I knew about this setting but it has a problem: it disable the sound notification of a new received SMS. So, it affects not just the notification in status bar.
It is really interesting that few people have asked this request. In fact, disabling this kind of notification (in a case of using an HOME app capable to do that too) is a matter of looking good. It should look „iPhonesque”
right right now i understand what you fully mean,
well i disabled it and just use sms pop up from the market by dev Adam K.
its free you should check it out maybe it will help
(i am no way affiliated with him nor do i know who it is just an app i like)

Well, thanks. But I'd like to use the stock messaging app instead of that. It seems that this is not a truly interesting kind of modding.
Right
Well thought I'd throw some suggestions out there

Is there any possibility to switch off sms report notification only but leave information about receiving sms in message thread?
I want to have information if my sms was received, but I don't want notification for each sms. It's really annoying.
I also want keep my stock app.
Any solutions?
sorry for my english
I assume you're using a Sense-based ROM - and that you're on about delivery reports showing up in the status bar?
The HTC messaging app is the only app that I know of that insists on putting delivery reports in the status bar, and I agree, it's really annoying. I also think that it isn't possible to silence the notification - if you have delivery reports turned on, you will get a notification for every successfully received message.
I appreciate from your post that you want to keep your stock messaging app, but unfortunately, I can't see any other way than using a Market alternative.
You could always try pulling the default messaging app from an AOSP build on the development forum and replacing it with that. The delivery reports with other messaging apps are quite subtle, and you get small notifications that fade in saying 'Message received by xxxxx.' that fade out again - much less intrusive.

Unfortunately as far as your phone is concerned an SMS is an SMS regardless if its a real incoming message for you or an SMS report notification.
Your phone reacts in the same way.
HTC sense is just basically plain stupid. Talking about Android = Customization.. What a joke.
Hey all, when I get an SMS with hangouts and I read it the notification doesnt go away. The only way to remove it is by swiping it away.
This can't be normal. How is everyone else behavior?
Yeah, good question! I'm having to keep swiping also! Plus, I miss the SMS unread count!

Same issue, switched to Handcent but can't use Lightfloe so going back.
I have the same issue. You have to go back into the home screen (list of all the people that you texted) of the hangouts app in order for the notification to get cleared. Really annoying...I installed Textra and am loving it so far.
This needs to have more attention brought to it. How could a messaging app miss such basic functionality that it can't clear its notification when a text is read but not swiped back to the main messages screen? It's really annoying having a persistent notification for a message I've already read.
Suffer the same problem myself.. have to hit the notification and go back into the messages screen to get it to clear..
