Hi,
I have a few notification that stick all the time. One is from Good for Enterprise and the other is "VPN is activated by Mobiwol".
Is there any way to remove them from the notification area? I still want to get other notifications from these apps though.
Thanks
I have a rooted Nexus 5 and I flashed the factory image for Android Lollipop. I like the clean design but I don't really like the heads-up notifications. You know, the white pop up at the top that covers 25% of your screen. I'm trying out QKSMS and I see a little icon when I get a message, that's enough for me so I don't need an extra notification. It also sometimes pops up when I receive something from Facebook Messenger, but not always for some reason, which is also quite annoying. So is there any way to disable the heads-up notifications? Thanks in advance!
Agreed. I prefer notifications to be discreet. I don't want the contents of private texts to pop-up onscreen if I'm showing something to a friend/co-worker. It would be nice to be able to choose between the Kitkat style of scrolling ticker text in the status bar and L's heads-up notifications. Or to turn them both off and simply have the app icon appear in the status bar, requiring a notification shade pull-down to view the contents.
Choice is good.
I dislike it because often I can't deal with the notification straight away, but still want it in the notification draw for later. With these heads up notifications (which I get for EvolveSMS) I can't get it out the way without it being completely dismissed, it's annoying.
This could be solved with simply adding the function that swiping up will send it to the notification draw
Yeah I'm currently inclined to stick with KK until I know that the worst aspects of Lollipop can be controlled. Obviously in the absence of Xposed on ART it's difficult to make little tweaks here and there.
Heads-up is right at the top of my list. I have always liked how notifications NEVER attack my screen space in Android 2.0-4.4 and I'm not about to go along with a regression to iPhone-like behaviour. When I can disable it globally or on a per-app basis I'll be much more comfortable with the idea of upgrading.
My other biggest concern: The old Silent mode functionality was to allow user-configured audible alarms, while shutting off all other audible notifications and silencing all vibrations. The new modes, you have to choose between a None that also silences alarms, or a Priority mode that lets vibrations leak through.
It's kind of hilarious actually, this is the first time in history that I've been dragging my feet on an Android upgrade when all my less techie friends are upgrading. In the past I'd be proud to be the first one to upgrade and show it off to everyone stuck on the old version.
So, a few weeks later... Are there any ROMs or mods that allow users to disable the heads up feature entirely across the board?

I hate heads up, they are very intrusive, i prefer something more discreet...
I apololgize for bumping this old thread, but has there been any update with this? I'm looking for an SMS app that allows you to disable the heads up style pop-up notifications, but also allows you to reply from notifications. Textra and ChompSMS allow you to disable heads up notifications on Lollipop, but they dont allow you to reply from notification (like EvolveSMS, QKSMS). I'm looking for an app that incorporates both features. Any luck?
With HeadsOff lollipop heads-up notifications can now be disabled!
No root needed.
You can also restore the ticker text in the statusbar!
Give it a try:
Download from Playstore
XDA thread
I'd prefer my notifications to not interrupt and hover over whatever I'm doing.
If you're not rooted, try one of these two apps. They both do similar things, but each have slightly different features. Each has a free and pro version.

If you're rooted, you can use these instructions to disable them.

Not sure if you mean the text ones but you can turn off by going to messages, settings, notifications, and shut off pop-up notifications
i'm hoping this is a really easy fix (i'm coming from using an iphone for 10 yrs):
Some of my apps, such as Fitbit, and even google's weather, send me multiple notifications during the day for a period update, but the most frustrating this is that it'll keep adding an icon for that app into the status bar, so for example for 3 notifications for fitbit, there will be 3 fitbit icons in the status bar. it's annoying, and stupid -- is there a way to turn it off or make it "merge" somehow?
i can't believe this clutter is acceptable way of default notifications.
I have 2 different jobs and have 3 different apps in my phone that I use for each work (so total 6 apps).
What I want to do is toggle between the notifications here.
Example when I start workA I want to enable notifications for appA+appB+appC while silent notification sounds (still keep bar icon) for appD+appE+appF
and when I start workB I want the opposite to be done. Receive sound+vibration for appD+appE+appF while silent notifications (still receive notification bar icon) for appA+appB+appC
And when I logout or I am on holiday I want to silent notifications for both jobs.
Is there any app out there that lets me toggle between multiple custom notification quick and easy?
As it is now I have to go to android settings and make 6 different settings all the time.
