[Q] Disable SMS and missed calls notifications from status bar

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

[Q] Disabling Some Notifications

Hi all,
On Sprint Stock OC9, and rooted.
I am wondering if there is a way to disable some of the system notifications like "Charging... xx minutes Until Full" or the "Location Set By GPS". These are rather unnecessary. The GPS icon can stay but I don't need a notification along with it.
I'm sure there's others.. but those are the two driving me crazy right now.

I hear you on the Location Notification. Also don't like the keyboard switcher either!

I didn't even notice the IME wasn't an option in Language and input. I know on AOSP ROMs you can show and hide that one.

Remove keyboard switcher simply by disabling the other keyboards. I'm only using SwiftKey and that's it.

Go into Settings->Sounds and Notifications->App Notifications. You can then turn off notifications on a per-app basis. For some apps, you can actually long-press on the notification and change the setting.

I think the ones I want to disable are all from System UI.... and there are no options...

Ah, I see. Yeah, might need a special root app for that.

How do we fix notifcations and not app shutting down ?

This reminds me a lot of older Huawei days I hate with my Mate 8...so I am little bit familiar.. that we have to whitelist.
But can some one tell me what I need to do for the apps that have push notifications ?
Is it 2 or 3 places I need to white list ???
From what I remember from my Huawei days was... I did only whitelist apps that used push notifcation or that was a multimedia app for video or audio, the others dont need to run in the background really..
so the concept are not wrong.. but.. I think vivo software should detect if the app want to use push notifications and ask the user if we want to allow that or not...it would make the set up more simple.
I could probably figure it out myself but this would save time..and also its good information for other new owners of the device. Besides this I am super happy with this Vivo Device, its clear to me that Vivo is the next Huawei, the only bad thing about vivo is their pricing, Vivos brand is not strong outside china so it will take time for them to build up same brand as huawei.

We need to Allow Apps to AutoStart & Run in the Background
Funtouch OS Kills most apps in the background in order to achieve better battery life and you would often find yourself missing notifications from your apps like whatsapp, telegram, instagram, twitter etc. You have to allow them to Autostart & Whitelist them/Allow to run in the background if you want to receive timely notifications. To do so follow the below:
* Settings > More Settings > Permission Management > Autostart (Select your preferred apps)
* Settings > Battery > High Background Power Consumption > Select apps
Allow the apps to continue running in the background so keep receiving notifications instantly.
I recommend most social media apps and messenger apps like Whatsapp, Telegram, Instagram, Twitter along with your Widgets and any other applications that are important for you to keep active.
Hope this helps :fingers-crossed:

that is OK...try using the SofaScore application but not with home wifi network...try with mobile network, I think the notifications in this case are not coming regularly

One more thing I figured out is to make sure background data is on. It is hard to find in the settings. I wasn't getting my email notifications for the stock email app even with all the settings correct.
i somehow found that the background data was off for some reason for that app. Turned it on now everything works great.

I have Nova Launcher. Press and hold the settings spp. You should see a pop up that says battery, data and wifi. Go to data. In there go to data usage. Find the app you are not getting notifications. Check to see if background data is enabled. I don't know how to find this setting by not using Nova Launcher.
Hope this helps.

What setting couldn't you find? The man settings icon in your app drawer. Press and hold. A pop up should appear. Should say Battery, Data and Wifi. Hit the data. On this page, go to Mobile Data Used. There should be a list of apps that have used data. Find the app you are looking for and make sure background data is on. Or even go through the list and turn off background data to apps you don't want. If the app you are looking for isn't there, try again after you have used the phone for a while. Give the app some time to show up.
This is the only way I know of getting to this setting.

What app are you having issuea with out of curiosity?
I keep having issues with the stock email app. Third party email apps work properly.

Ok, I have a problem with notifications.
It's annoying that you can't drag the notifications screen down from the top in the lockscreen, it only works after you unlock the phone.
Also, some notifications in the lock screen don't fully show, they are also not responsove to touch(as to expanding the notification in the lockscreen to show more info)
I can only see what they say after I unlock the phone, drag the top down and press the little arrow that now appears on the right side of google notifications as in the example pics below
The arrow is not there in lock screen, I can't "expand" notifications in lockscreen...
You understand what I mean???
Lockscreen notification 1 st pic and unlocked screen notification second after I press the little arrow
Same for example when I got multiple whatsapp messages, in other phones in the lock screen I touch the notification in the lockscreen and "drag" it down, it expands to show me the messages, in the Nex this is not possible
Any fix? Thanks

Try remove com.vivo.pem in adb shell.

This is very common issue between Chinese software iOS style like Funtouch,MIUI,EMIU.
They don’t support expandable notifications on lock screen neither option like reply or delete from various app like Viber,WhatsApp,outlook,messenger,Gmail.
You can’t resolve it even with third party app because Google remove with Oreo overlays management on lock screen from third party app.
Only when native being supported by OEM.
Unfortunately Chinese OEM interact badly to core Android OS by removing basic features like expandable notifications.
All other non Chinese skin support this feature(Samsung,LG,Sony etc)
The only Chinese OEM support it is OnePlus because of Oxygen skin being stock based.

Thanks for the reply. I made a side by side comparison vixeo with a samsung s 6 and sent it to Vivo on Facebook. Customer service has been amazing I must say

I have the Chinese version of the NEX. Settings\Status Bar and Notifications\Manage Notifications. On my list I have apps listed including my Android messaging app, which lets me select detailed message info on my lock screen.

But you can’t reply or delete a massage(WhatsApp Viber,Facebook messenger etc)or email(Gmail,outlook)through lock screen since does not let you expand on it.
And if you get long massage with many words characters you can’t read all of the massage but half only, unless unlocked the screen and pull down notifications center.
Vivo software does not support expand notifications on lock screen just like non Chinese android skin.
I had the same issue with Huawei and Xiaomi device when I had it.
Take a look at this screenshot.
I’ve got 3 emails from outlook but I can’t read the details each one also not having option of reply or delete each massage.
The same with Gmail I can’t expand so I can’t read the whole message and just like outlook I can’t delete or reply directly through lock screen.
In both situations I have to unlocked the phone and the pull down notifications center and only then let me do that.

Mi Mix 3 Notification Issues

I've just yesterday gotten a Mi Mix 3 and set it up accordingly, and I'm finding MIUI okay as a whole except for some issues with notifications I'm having. Basically:
Some apps that send push notifications will only send them to the notification shade. No notification icon, no pop-up alert, no lock screen notification (more on that later), no sound, no vibration, no notification light. This is all completely independent of the notification settings of the app. I can turn everything on and it still won't show. Some apps show fine, such as discord and messages, but they still won't show on the lockscreen:
No notifications showing on the lockscreen at all. For apps that do send notifications, only the sound and notification light will display when I receive one, but checking both the lockscreen and notification shade whilst the phone is locked will show me nothing until I unlock it. This is while "Lock screen notifications" is enabled in the app notification channel.
No per-app notification sounds. This is most likely less of a bug and more of a missing implementation, but since this is a base Android feature now is there alternate way to enable these?
Settings specific to these issues:
In "Lockscreen & Password / Advanced Settings / On Lock Screen" the phone is set to "Show all notifications and their contents".
In "Lockscreen & Password / Notifications" it's set to "Show Animation".
In "Notifications & Status bar" "Show notification icons" and "Show on lock screen" is on.
MIUI version is fully updated at 10.2.1.
Anyone got any idea?
Many thanks

For me i had to activate it for each app seperately, that i wanted notifications from. Except for apps that already gave me notifications like snapchat. I know i had to do it manually on instagram for example

Strangely, by going into the app notification settings and changing the settings off and on again it seems to have fixed the problem? At least for the actual app's I've tested (twitter and discord).
I've also tried with an app called push notification tester however and this has the same 1. and 2. issues. I'm not sure what the difference is but if it works for important stuff at least that's what matters.
To everyone else the 3rd question still stands; is there a way to get app-specific notification sounds in MIUI 10?

The simple solution is to install a non-MIUI-based ROM.

Have someone found out how to set per app notification sound?

Literally burst out laughing in a meeting where I'm the lowest man on the totem pole by far, oops.

I'm having this same problem again myself
Even Xiaomi apps like YiCam don't work right half the time.

The notification inconsistency in MIUI is one of the biggest reasons that I just listed mine for sale. No matter how many times I've gone through individual app settings and overall notification settings, it never works as expected. And my expectation is only for it to work as the settings that I've selected indicate. It makes me a little sad actually... this was my first Xiaomi device and I ended up liking MIUI way more than I thought I would (especially compared to EMUI... which is complete trash). Oh well... on to the next.

I run an app called Notification Repeater(apk) and it seems to address any of the inconsistencies that MIUI has with Notifications(or lack there of). I use another app called AutoNotification(by joaomgcd on the Play Store i believe) to block some notifications such as "x app is diplaying over other apps" that never seem to go away.
I know it kind of sucks to have to find a work around to use a phone when realistically it would be nice if your phone just worked the way you wanted it to out of the box..but since installing these apps i have been more than happy with my current situations when it comes to Notifications.

I've also had similar problems. In addition to manually turning on each apps notification in settings (Have to remember this for every time I download an app as well) I've aslo downloaded the app 'Notification Repeater' which has helped significantly. I get absolutely ZERO notifications on the lock screen though which is something I still haven't figured out how to fix without switching ROMs. I hope someone can figure something out.

Notification Peeking

Is there any easy way to bring back notification peeking settings on Android pie as I need to turn it off for some apps and not others but still get visual and audible feedback (no do not disturb mode). If anyone knows an app that can do this or if it is possible to directly port it from Oreo I'd appreciate it.

Notification peeking is the name for when you receive a notification and a pop-up drops down showing a preview of it. For example Snapchat "is typing" notification

I think your talking about heads-up notifications... in order to disable that on a per app basis.. just go to settings/applications and find the app you want it to stop for and choose notifications. Choose the specific notification category you want to stop and change the 'behavior' from 'make sound and pop on screen' to just 'make sound'. Hope that's what you were looking for!
