I am currently using Galaxy S9 Plus on Verizon and with Apex launcher. From the last week, when I get a text message or a new message in Facebook Messenger I don't just get a notification in the bar at the top, but an actual pop-up that comes up over the top of anything else and goes all the way across the top of the screen and about three quarters of an inch tall. It stays up for four or five seconds before going away. As you can see this is pretty annoying and I have tried to control it but I can find no setting regarding this matter. It does not seem to be app specific as it comes up with texts, voice mail notifications, Facebook messenger message notifications and maybe others. Does anyone know how to get rid of these and have just the normal notifications?

Seeing as that the Captivate does not have a notification LED, it sometimes becomes a problem noticing new notifications. I just want to know if there is some kind of application that would flash the screen for a few seconds or so when the phone receives a new notification. I remember my iPhone doing that and it would be cool to see Android phones doing the same.
Look in the development forum for captivate, there is a thread doing this exact thing
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
No, I know about the red dot on the screen thing. I dont really need that and besides, I believe it kills battery. I just want some app to turn the screen on for a few seconds when I get a notification.
Maybe go to the noled thread and see if he'll add that feature
my screen does flash when I get a message. It pops up in the notification bar and shows two lines of the message then shuts off.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It does this when it is sleeping?
I just tested it. When its locked and the screen is off it revives itself when I get and MMS or SMS. For emails it does not.
handcent sms will do it when you adjust the settings for the popup menu
Oh, maybe it only works for SMS and MMS notifications only. I would like the screen to flash on for every notification (Gmail, Feedr, AIM, etc). Kind of like how the iPhone worked with push notifications.
When I have the little pink colored circle show up with the quantity of messages inside of it (1) (2) or whatever the number is, when I hit the messaging icon there is a delay and the phone lag's when it organizes the messages or brings the most recent one to the top.
I basically hit the messaging icon and it takes me to my messages but the phone takes a solid second to organize itself. Essentially the screen show's that no messages are new then it updates after a second and pushes the most recent to the top.
Is anyone else experiencing this? It's annoying as hell.
Also when I send a text, the revolving "please wait" circle is terrible. I am generally typing another text right after I send one, as weird as that sounds, and the "please wait" thing takes a solid second before you can start typing again.
Ouch you are serious? That was main reason I replaced my myTouch 4G and went to a stock android phone.
Actually, use another SMS client, i forget the name, Handcent SMS
I works same, and you won't have any of that lagg of "Please wait"
I have been an android user for 5 years but recently my S6 got broken. So I used my daughters old iphone 5s for a few weeks. I have to admit the texts simplicity was really very nice. I receive a text with a popup in the middle of the screen, swipe left to dismiss or swipe right and the message app opens with the keyboard popping right up. Very convenient especially one handed. With android I need to swipe down the banner, tap reply and and then also tap in the reply area of the message to get the keyboard to pop up.
Ive tried a few apps with good results but just nothing as simple as the iphone. Chomp ok but won't show MMS in popup and no sending indicator. Textra good but small banner popup only on top of screen plus no sending indicator. Yaata best so far but sends all my pictures turned sideways. Also all the texting apps show all my previous texts once I download the app but the scrolling if VERY VERY choppy. I do plenty of one handed texting and just like it to be as simple as possible. Thanks, Tim
When I receive a text message (using Google's Messenger), the screen lights up and I see the notification on the lock screen. After 1 or 2 seconds, without any input, the notification disappears before I can do anything. This has caused me to miss several (somewhat) important text messages because when I go back, the notification is no longer there to remind me to check my messages.
Any suggestions of how to fix this?
Same issue on LG V20 running Android 7.0. Started with Hangouts messages only and then spread to SMS/text messages yesterday. heads up notification displays for fraction of a second before disappearing. Same behavior with notification icon in notification bar. Shows for split second before apparently being instantaneously dismissed. Expanding notification shade shows no notification. I thought it was my messaging app Textra, but full uninstall re-install did not fix. Tried reverting to stock Android messaging app, still no fix. Reverted from Nova to stock Launcher, no fix. This is maddening! Sounds like it might be an OS bug, but your the first person to post something exactly like I'm experiencing. Hopefully more find this and report. No fix as of yet that I've found.
I had a chat with Samsung support where basically they had me first boot into safe mode to ensure no 3rd-party apps were messing it up (they weren't). Then (in regular boot mode), I had to enable all disabled apps (AT&T bloatware). Then, I enabled notifications for all apps.
This fixed my issue well enough. The notifications appear, then go away after a second, but then immediately come back. It's still quirky, but now the notifications are persistent.
Hello, I switched from iPhone to Galaxy A52. Instantly noticed that notification systems are different: on iPhone, I could just scroll down into infinity; On Galaxy, it shows only a few recent notifications. So I installed NotiStar — it solved half of the problem, but new problems appeared:
When viewing from the lock screen, notification bubbles are transparent: I can see background, clock, etc. — way harder to read notifications.
On iPhone when I open notification it brings me directly to the source. For example, I receive a message from a friend, click on it, and it opens our chat. Notistar just opens the application. Most of my notifications come from Telegram, where I have like 100 channels and chats — it becomes tedious to search for the right one.
Sometimes my notifications get duplicated. Happens like: I receive a message in Telegram but don't open it, it appears in Notistar. Then I receive 2 more messages. Somehow they are logged grouped with the first one. The process repeats until I view or clear the received message from the notification center.
Please, tell me, how can I fix all that? If not with NotiStar, maybe with another app?
TL;DR: I want a chronological scrollable notification feed, that will bring me to the right chat when clicked
