I set many of my apps so notifications are blocked. Each time an app updates, though, it deletes that preference and starts giving notifications again. Is there a way to change this so that setting is permanent, even after updating an app?

I set many of my apps so notifications are blocked. Quite often that preference is changed and I start to get notifications again, and then when I go look the notifications for that app are no longer blocked. I'm wondering if it happens when I update the app (I have them set to autoupdate) but I'm not sure.
Is there a way to change this so that setting is permanent, even after updating an app?
I am looking for a way I can disable selected distractive apps during particular time of the day but still want to receive calls, sms or messages from particular selected apps.
In my old rooted phone I have used AFwall+ for that reason so selected apps can't access Internet connection. Since I haven't rooted my new phone and not planing of doing that atm so I cant use AFwall+.
Also I can't just turn off phone Internet connection because I need some selected apps stay connected.
So lets say I want to have such setup:
Viber - disable
SMS - enable
Skype - disable
FB - disable
FB messanger - enable
Gmail - disable
Calls - enable
disable means I do not want this app to access Internet and distract me with any sort of UI notifications
enable means I want the app working and deliver notifications for me as normal
Any thoughts ?
First, I think you mean distracting, not destructive.
Greenify can block the apps, but not only during certain times of the day.

It is interesting app that disabling notifications but Android still showing the rounded notifications badges over icons. Is there a way to getting rid of these badges too?
UPDATE 1:
I just was following this article that https://www.h3xed.com/mobile/how-to-remove-icon-badge-notifications-on-android-samsung-touchwiz but button 'disable' is not active so I cant disable the 'BadgeProvider'
UPDATE 2:
Then I followed this one http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...e-disable-app-icon-badge-counter-s7-edge.html and by using 'Package Disabler Pro' the 'BadgeProvider' was being successfully disabled.
So basically in order to stop notifications on non rooted S7 we need to apps
1) Greenify
2) Package Disabler Pro
I have yahoo mail, which sends its fake news. that I don't read. I want to dump the fake news .
Since Oreo I have this notification "Android System Notification - Lastpass is running in the background.!"
All I can do is snooze it for up to 2 hours, clicking the notification takes me to the app settings and everything is ok and it is ticked to allow running in the background.
How can I stop this from appearing?
I don't find anyway to stop this notification every 2 hours.
You can use below app until we get 8.1, where this notification can be finally disabled in notification channels settings for Android System app (switch is greyed out in 8.0).

Great, I'll give it a go.
Thanks

It does it with a bunch of other system notifications. For example the VPN notification bar (system notification, not the app) is also persistent, apart from the snooze.
That app seems oddly specific btw. Can't try it out right now but I assume it won't work for other system notifications?
Edit: had a better look at the pictures and it seems the VPN thing might be snoozable through that app after all.
All my other apps are notifying me just fine, it's only a GMail issue. It started a couple of days ago. The app may have updated, I'm not sure. Haven't touched the operating system or anything. No settings have been touched and I've verified both within GMail itself and in GMail's notification settings within Android that notifications are configured correctly. Mail is being received, because it appears upon opening the app and I don't have to manually load new mail.
Any idea how I might go about fixing this? I've already tried rebooting.
Just Turn on sync and check if Gmail app was muted in notifications
So I upgraded to OOS12, i did a factory wipe as well to start fresh. Noticed odd stuff, like I wasn't getting text message notifications, they were coming in but notifications were set only to show up in the status bar not notify me. Then weird stuff like my alarm didn't wake me up this morning- the clock app was set not to notify me at all!
I found the manage notifications, almost all apps were set to off. A few odd ones were on, Facebook was on, "My Files" was on...is there some reason why this is? I know there's a big push now to not have so many notifications on our phones...but it's very frustrating as I actually use my phone for work and productivity, and most of my notifications are important. I'd rather have them all on and turn off the ones that are annoying, but I don't see a setting?
