Inconsistent heads up notifications - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've noticed that not all notifications are showing up as heads up notifications. Snapchat notifications are, calendar event reminders are, but Gmail and Textra notifications aren't etc. I installed a third party app to fill in the blanks and provide notifications where TW didn't, but it's weird that it's not consistent. Has anyone else noticed this? Can anything be done?

I would love to disable heads up at all, and get back to notification ticker only.

Heads up are app specific (ie the app has to decide to use it)
Gmail does not use heads up.
Textra has settings for it, so double check those.

You can disable heads up notifications if you're rooted. At least with the Hangouts app, this also returns the notification ticker.

Android Lollipop lock screen notifications

Hey
I have moto g with android lollipop 5.0.1
I want to have some notifications on the lockscreen, like call, sms and messager, but not gmail notification. And i want that it appear in the regular notification bar when it unlock.
How this is possible?
As far as I know, the notification bar and the lockscreen notifications are the same thing. You can block an app in Settings -> Sound and notification but it will affect both of them. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

You are correct..
I would like only the most important notifications (call sms and messager) to show up on lock screen
Maybe a new launcher from the Play store can help you. Sadly I have never tried any of them so I can't recommend one.

I use Smart Launcher 2, because I like how simple it is to pick up a app
i still continue to search, but at this point, don't beleive so much that it is possible

Issues with persistent notifications

I have a few persistent notifications i WANT to have in my notifications list, clipper+, Tasker and a couple more, the thing is that all notifications are swipe awayable, clipper+ is for storing clippings which I've found being really convenient. I've tried to figure out if there's a setting somewhere hidden away but after two days i still haven't found what I'm looking for (u2) does anyone else have this issue? Or am I just to picky?

Does Light Flow NotificationFunction for the LED's

I wanted to see if anyone is using Light Flow for your Led and sound notifications.
It works fine. Light notifications are turned off by default. I'm using light flow legacy
Thank you !
Just downloaded it and tried it...not impressed. The colors are a bit off. They were great on my S6, but it looks like the LED on the Pixel has some sort of filter or something over it and it dulls the colors.
Pixel has LED support by default. You don't need to use crazy hacks like lightflow to make it work.

You do if you want to actually customize it at all.
When I installed light flow. My gmail notifications sounds, lights and vibrate settings functioned as intended. I had many issues with getting full functionality with any of sms notifications. I contacted the developer about my sms notification issues and his replay with a work around works.
This can be used with any app, BUT YOU NEED TO FOLLOW EACH STEP FOR EACH CONTACT or Notification.
From the developer: 10.25.16
I'd recommend the following.
1. remove the contact specific notification you have set up and the standard text message notification.
2. get a text message from the contact you want specific notifications for and don't yet read it.
3. go into lightflow, notification settings and press "+" and select from all installed apps and select messenger.
4. Press "+" again and select from an outstanding notification and select the unread text message and select it and click add.
5. Find this notification and click on it (then press the pencil icon in the title to give it a meaningful name)
6. Enable the "notification person matches..." switch
7. Finally in notification settings click on the 3 lines with an arrow button at the top and drag the contact specific notification above the default messenger notification.
Messenger and be replaced with any app that you want notification from.

How would you make your notification LED flash white for SMS notifications and blue for Gmail notifications on the stock ROM?

I didn't say they HAVE TO USE IT.
I said they have CONTROL of it.
So ditch the crappy gmail program and use k9mail instead.

Replacing apps with ones that support the control of custom LED notifications isn't a viable solution for most people. How would you replace the Phone app if you want custom notifications for missed calls and voicemails?
You don't seem to have any interest in helping the OP, so I am done here.

It certainly is viable, especially when doing so increases functionality.
And yes, you CAN replace the phone application. There are HUNDREDS of alternatives.
Do we have to use Legacy?
I am using the regular one, and it is not working for me.
Did you have to set any special config options? In the device settings page?
Edit: I realized hiding notifications for LightFlow in the settings app (to hide the persistent icon) disabled the LED, so switched to legacy.

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!

Annoying alarm icon in top bar.

All of sudden showed up today on my op7pro. Anyone knows how to get rid of it? My alarm is off.
I know you can disable it in status bar- icon manager but this is not a case. I didn't have it before.
Settings>Display>Status Bar>Icon Manager>Toggle Alarm.
Edit: I missed that second part. Have you tried enabling and disabling an alarm? If that doesn't work, Icon Manager might be the only way.

I know I can so it but my alarm is off so it should not show up in status bar, right? Ones alarm ia on icon will appear in status bar. That's the way it should be, right?
Try clearing data for alarm app maybe.
Looks my alarm is up for monday 11pm. I wish I know how to disable it.
BTW... I tried to clear data, I even disable it and still this icon is there.
I have no clue what 3d picture means.
What program are you using to get that many notification icons in your pull down menu?
I had the same issue and figure out that Tasker was causing this issue - this device only, never had a problem on a Samsung or a Huawei.

I don't have Tasker installed.
Go into the apps permissions and change notifications silent without icon. I think should work
Toggle off notifications. Better wording

If you're using a non OEM alarm app go into app info and select notifications and verify that it's toggled off. With a shot. Think it would work truly
Had the same issue. Found out, that it came from the next event from 'do not disturbe'-schedule of a notification app (Plus Beat in my case). Really annoying...

You can kepp using Plus Beat. Just turn off DND hours on the App. That fixes the problem.

Third picture means to allow the alarm clock to wake up the phone if the device is off
I would suggest force closing the oneplus launcher or clearing data to see if it clears, clearly somethknm is borked
I uninstalled the app long time ago.
