no idea why this happens. when i download something or update an app the completed notification randomly keeps reappearing even after clearing. i clear the notification and then 15 minutes or so later it reappears. keeps happening for days on end. the only way to stop the notifications is to go and clear app data.
this is inconvenient and stupid. why are these notifications reappearing after being cleared?
anyone else have this problem or have any idea how to fix it?
anyone Bueller ?
Is this with Android market aka Google play? Or amazon appstore? Either way try to go into settings and clear the application data and then do a reboot. Let us know if this solves it.

android market.
as i said the only way to clear it is to go in and clear app data. when i hit the x it clears but then just reappears again in a few hours. the only way to truly clear without reappearing is to clear app data which is unlike every other android device i've had

Hello.
I've been buying a couple of apps that I do not want to download right away, but the download starts automatically. So I wait for them to install, when it is finished I can't uninstall them because of the refund button. I uninstalled one of them through "Manage applications" and still got a refund. Which I did not want.
It's been about 40 minutes since I bought them but the refund button is still there.
Could anyone help me with this. Thank you in advance!
If it has been more than 15 minutes and the refund button still shows, then go to manage applications. Find Market and clear data. That should also clear cache, but if you still have the option to clear cache do that as well.
Reboot if you want, but it shouldn't be necessary. When you go back to the Market they shouldn't allow you to refund anymore. If they do then you can either wait it out or freeze them with TB - you have to have the pro version of Titanium Backup to freeze apps. Be sure that in the settings for TB that freezing an app doesn't remove its market entry... I can't remember the exact wording of the option but it's in there.

Hey I tried looking for an answer to this and couldn't really find one
My phone consistently gives me the "unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" and a bunch of different variants of that with different processes or apps.
I have tried wiping the cache and disabling apps but honestly WTF
I can't figure out why it does this. This happened to be before and a factory reset fixed the issue but this time it seems to be an issue with one of the basic apps I'm installing.
I don't know if anyone has run into this and has some guidance.
Would a fresh stock firmware solve this?
when in doubt, open the settings/apps and clear the cashe of the offending app.

I have cleared the cache of every app and it just doesn't stop. It's the most frustrating thing I've dealt with.
May just buy a new phone at this point....
if it is that bad then reset your phone to factory defaults, also make sure to check the settings so it doesn't automatically install all of your old Apps, so you can install them one at a time to see which one is causing it.

How do I fix the issue once I figure out what app is causing it? Or do I just forever say farewell to the app in question?
First off, if anyone is to respond to this question, please do not lecture on dangers or the "why" of forcing closing apps, or how they can be more a detriment on the system, etc. This doesn't answer the question and just makes everyone else who may be seeking an answer more pissed off when someone starts to question you on why do you want that feature, etc. The same goes true on trying to change the subject, or otherwise just failing to answer the question. If you don't know, then don't reply.
I have a [currently] un-rootable tablet which is a Verizon Asus ZT581KL running Android 6.0.1. There is a system update available. There is no [easy] way to ignore or close this update notification. If one says no to available system update (Android 7), it will magically re-appear and is hell bent on at least downloading the update and then trying to force you to pick a time to install it. By not installing the update, one has to suffer the notification that is always there and one has to be mindful to not accidentally hit yes to install the update. Factory reset (annoying) fixes this for about 24 hours.
[do not reply on how to get rid of the notification or other tips which do not answer the question, if you do, I will find you and I will kill you. (unless it's another workaround solution, in which case I will give you a big shiny nickel along with my gratitude)]
On this tablet, the OTA download and installation is run via this system service called FOTAService, and it's a sly little bastard. If you force stop it, it will re-initialize--only if you hit it like 4-5x will it "seem" to stay closed--but it will resume the download once the service is restarted/phone rebooted presumably--I wouldn't be surprised if it tried to start again on it's own if left the device to sit and simmer for a few hours.
However, there is a grimmer of hope: If I goto settings->app manager-> . . .->system apps->FOTAService->Storage and hit clear data, the notification seems to go away. Unknown at this time is if will resume or restart the download on it's own or next reboot. This is a service you cannot disable without root.
There are apps out there that will presumably disable autostartup apps/service even they say without root. I've tried All in One Toolbox, and it did not seem to disable the service--probably because I do not have root.
Obviously I do not want to update android because I will more than likely have better chances on older version versus newer version to be able to root it, if/when it becomes available.
My question: Are there any [good] apps that will allow me to either persistently auto-kill apps/services (the equivalent of manually going to app manager and hitting force close over and over again) via NO ROOT. A program that just makes sure a certain program doesn't load, and if it does will keep killing it
as it spawns a process.
AND/OR
A program that will allow me to do the equivalent of clearing app data/cache either whenever app data is present and/or at predetermined times ..i.e. on an automatic/polling basis.
(mindfart...maybe automateit app can do that..I'll have to check)
If I can have it so something is running keeping FOTAService from spawning or automatically nuking it's app data, that should work and I won't have to worry about it updating behind my back. Any help appreciated.
I might have found a working solution to build on.

awesome...so many replies..thank you. So, I was able clear app data via this command:
pm clear 'app name' or more specifically issuing the command: pm clear com.asus.dm and it nuked the update for a good 24 hours. I tried creating a .sh script file, but I ran into permission errors. Issuing the command from adb works.
There are a bunch of app/cache cleaners available on the play store, but they all seem to do the same thing: They offer auto cache clearing and some offer interval app cache cleaning, but the ones I saw all seem just clean ALL app cache.
Does anyone know of an app that will allow me to SELECTIVELY set just the app/apps that I want to have their app cache cleared?--and not just ALL apps? If I found that, I could just set it to automatically run whenever, and be done with it. An app cache cleaner that when run, will just do the apps I have selected to be cleared. Does anybody know?
Please help,

You can do Factory Reset : (this wiil wipe your data ) so make sure you first remove you Google and other accounts before doing this , or you can use
CM Security app to clean viruses .

It may not be a virus but it is a likely result of adware that was installed as part of an app you installed.
You could probably find out what installed it by using a good security scanner. If that doesn't do the trick, reset the phone back to Factory settings. Make sure you back up your data.

Is it by chance Google Assistant or just the Google App? Can you post a screenshot of the advertisement your seeing?
If in doubt try factory data resetting the phone. I would suggest this combined with an antivirus/malware scanner (at the very least the latter if you don't plan on factory resetting the phone). A factory data reset basically resets everything back to default and removes all your apps. Set your phone backup, install some sort of antimalware/antivirus app and then pay particular attention to what apps you install. If the issue happens again take note of what apps you installed last/recently (cuz they might be the cause).
Don't do factory reset,download Malwarebytes eecurity,u will get 1 month free,then choose "use deep scanner during full scan" from the settings,it will detect and kill the malware nd adware
Chack the apps with an "overlay permisson"
Got it fixed had running Malwarebytes and Samsung owns antivirus both got nothing, i cleaned Google cache, reset their app data, removed few apps and its gone thankfully, have no idea where it would come.
The picture attached is "Estonian language" but yeah it would close my apps and show the add when I click show recent apps shows "Google play services" and then it immediately deletes itself.
