I just had an idea. Instead of texting by switching applications, what if you could just pull down the notification window, type a message and read it. If it worked with Google Voice, that would be very cool too!
I have no idea how to code this, but I am a designer and could create some pretty GUI for it.
You could try something like SMSPopup or the popup+quick compose shortcut that handcent has
Do you mean compose an entirely new message in the notification bar or reply to one you received?

I like his idea, I wouldn't mind seeing something official or official looking that popped up when long pressing an SMS notification that let you select reply, that kept you in your current app but popped up for replying like QuickDesk or SMS Popup does.

Maybe, but if you could send texts from the notification bar, next thing is someone else would want to send emails, someone else would want to make voice calls, someone else order pizzas and the next thing you know the purpose of the notification bar is lost in a jumble of features ... what's so difficult about pressing the sms icon to send a text?
Kind of pointless seeing how as you're one click and several milliseconds away from the full fledged SMS app. Remember, this isn't an iPhone, stuff works here - fast.
The notification bar is just that, a notification bar.

True. But I don't see why notifications can't have long-press options. The problem is, this would sorta have to be on a per-app basis. Meaning nobody would make an app that included a menu for the notification unless it was an official feature from Google, a part of Android 2.5, for example.

I was thinking that it would be a good idea to create something like what the OP wants, but I really like your response and you make a good point.
My two cense [yeah im UK so cant spell that word xD]
1) Popup SMS, I installed it very early on in my N1 career, never uninstalled it, its perfect for me.
2) While we dont NEED this, it would be interesting to see if its possible to type in the notification bar, as there may be other uses.
this gives me an idea too
i always hate going back to home or clicking music playing notification to change music.
If there was a little previous, play/pause and next icon it would be awesome. As the status bar is nearly always visible we never have to exit the current app we're in.
Hopefully someone can do this
but yeah sms would be cool too
A stinky note / drawing pad would be cool too. Just a way to quickly write a note, be it a phone number or grocery list, and view it anywhere without minimizing the current application.
Even though there are dedicated apps for all of this, the ease of use and speed of the notification bar are noticeable. The Framework is always running in the foreground.
i have a samsung vibrant
ics passion v11
stock messaging app and an app locker.
heres the issue
my messaging app is hidden with the app locker,
but when i get notified in the top bar and pull down menu, it still has the name and beginning of the msg as it always does, which kinda defeats the purpose of locking the app.
i would like to still get notification sounds without a visual notification in the top bar/pull down
any way to do this?
i know how to remove the notification all together but i still want a tone to let me know i got a text just don't want someone to pick up my phone and be able to read who its from and half the message
Okay so when I'm playing a game and someone talks to me on whatsapp I pull down the notification menu real quick to see if it's urgent and whether I even WANT to respond.
With just 1 notification there's no problem, but when I've got more than 1 it says for example '3 unread messages' or more so then, I HAVE to open Whatsapp and they also see I'm online and expect an answer.
So, I was wondering if there's some kind of mod or app or whatever that can display these notifications seperately.
I would love to know the answer to this as well

Did you try floating mod? Halo?
Hey guys I just upgraded my Galaxy S7 Edge to 7.0
The problem that I am having is with notifications not going away. What I mean is before, when I got a text or email or instant message etc., I saw it on the notifications bar. Now lets say I didnt swipe it but I did go into my message and open the message or instant message etc it would take it off the notification bar. Now with Nougat They stay up until I either swipe it away or click on it to take me to that message.
Is this something I can fix or am I stuck with this new way of message notifications. Thanks
Weird...On our S7 store demos with Nougat, once you go into the Messages and the actual conversation in question, it does disappear from the notification drawer.

Hmm. Strange I wonder if there is some setting I'm not seeing. Opening up the email when you replied is still up there too
For some reason I keep getting a notification from secure folder ("content hidden ")
If I open it and verify it just opens Samsung's app store? I love the secure folder feature for privacy, but I cant get it to stop sending me notifications. As in, I'd rather no one knows secure folder even exists on the phone unless I access it. It is toggled off in the pull down menu as well. Any thoughts?
Screenshot
In the settings you can disable notifications from apps running inside the folder.
Open the folder, hit the three dot menu, Settings, Notifications and Data, App notifications, toggle off All apps.
It looks like in your case the app store is the offending app, probably spamming you with some deal or letting you know there's an app update available.
Worked like a champ. Thanks. Got another question. In my status bar it shows 3 gmail icons stacked on each other. But I've cleared the notification tray. First shot is what it shows. Second is when I pull down from the top of the screen. Sprint model, unlocked with unbranded stock FW flashed on it if that matters.
First shot didn't load
I know the stacked emails means you have multiple unread items in your inbox, not sure why you're getting three of them and/or they are sticking like that.

What kind of Mp4 is that
Oh geez. I have like 2000 unread gmails. Mark all as read I suppose. Must be a new oreo thing or part of the stock FW. And by Mp4 what do you mean? I'm thinking a video file lol
