A lot of apps (tasker comes to mind) have to use persistent notifications to run in the foreground. Most allow you to turn this off, at risk of the app not running/working as reliable. I was wondering however whether it would be at all possible to hide these, without having that effect. I was thinking along the lines of a mod to the notification pull down, that just didn't display specific notifications, without actually clearing them from the system. So as far as the OS is concerned, the notifications are there, you just don't display them. Anyone know whether this would be possible, and perhaps of an app/mod/rom that does this?
I have Tasker running in the background (without a notification) and I wasn't closed because of that so far. Same goes for some battery monitoring apps. Is there a reason you want to run it in the foreground?

You might have to wait for Jelly Bean for that one, as JB can hide notifications on a per application basis
You cannot hide persistent notifications. Not even in Jelly bean.

I haven't had any issues yet either, but I was curious whether this would be possible.

Yeah I didn't really expect this to be a stock android feature, but I figured mods and tools that modify the notification centre might be able to do this.

I am able to hide persistent notifications on jelly bean, tasker inparticular. I'm not sure if it's actually hiding it or it's actually killing the persistent notification, but Tasker has never died on me.

On my stock ICS ROM there used to be a toggle button that enabled me to hide the notifications in the notification bar. A very usefull feature as I use my phone a lot to show technical pictures to customers and when sms and what'sapp notifications pop up, it doesn't look all that professional. On the different Jelly Bean ROMS i can't find this option anymore. Has it just disappeared from Jelly Bean? Or do i need another ROM? Now using Omega V27.1. Thank you for any advice.

It's there on jb.. Press and hold the notification.. You will get an option to go to app info.. From there you can toggle notifications on and off

It's been rolled into the "Blocking mode" feature. Open (the main) Settings from your app drawer and you can configure it from there. If Omega uses the original toggles (and not the 15 toggles), you can also configure Blocking mode from the notification bar (and turn it on and off from there).

Looks like even if i enable blocking mode, my notifications still show up. Is it the ROM?

Apologies for my incorrect reply, it does seem to be removed - the notifications feature of blocking mode only seems to refer to incoming call notifications

OK, thanks. A shame really. If anybody has other options please be so kind to let me know.
I really like the blocking mode built into the os, but is there any way to remove the notification from the status bar when blocking mode is enabled?

I have same query
I was wondering the same thing , its great but also a bit annoying being in the notification bar
Not that i know of, but it should stay there, you need to know it's on since it disables key functions.
I noticed that, while blocking mode was enabled, whatsapp sounds still go off in the middle of the night.

True, but we don't need to know it's enabled when it's not doing anything. If you set the between time it should disappear when it's not affecting anything.
Looking for a way to get Tasker of NFC Task list to enable and disable it.
Yeah... this notification is pretty annoying...
I hate it too... And just like everything else it shows how samsung can't make 100% good software.... Everything is always "almost good"... There is always something that spoils everything... That's why I can't stay with sammy rom for too long...

when you try to change the sound of notifications in whatsapp, and you select "Default ringtone" it doesn't use the notification ringtone, it uses your call ringtone, it's really annoying, but I think that's why, it's whatapp's fault
really hate this "feature" to notify me about blocking mode not being enabled...
annoying
yeah I agree this thing is completely annoying, it should be in the status bar when on, not when off! Image having a notification all the time that says your alarm is scheduled to go off in 8 hours.

that's the beauty of technology.. nothing is "perfect" otherwise, if everything is perfect on sammy then we wouldn't be in XDA now, would we?
I managed to hack away this notification!
The process is relatively lengthy, and does require a rooted, deodexed ROM... But it works!
The notification will be COMPLETELY removed - it will not show up even when blocking mode IS actually active (i.e. during the active hours).

isn't it easier to access the resources folder, look for the block mode icon and delete it?

I'm not sure if that'd work. It might remove the icon from the notification bar (the thin one on top), but likely not the ongoing notification when you drag it down fullscreen.
I'll try tomorrow and post it, but I think I remember seeing all that icons (the quick settings icons too) in system framework...
JFYI, I've put a couple of CWM zips together, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943987
By the way, couldnt find the icons on framework.apk
if you pull down your notification bar and press and hold blocking mode notification you will see app info, click on that and you should see a box about notifications and if you uncheck that the icon and notification will go away.

You can't uncheck this one, it's checked and greyed out (in other words permanent).
Does anyone know of a way to get the mobile data toggle that used to be on the note 2 in the notification panel?
Thanks

I put together a tasker task for this purpose that turns off mobile data, waits 5 seconds, then re-enables it. Exported it as an apk/app if you'd like to use it. No requirement to have tasker installed.
Edit:
Re-reading this, I realized there may be some confusion as to what this does. It does not add the option to the notification panel but rather simply allows you to have an app on your home screen to perform this data toggle. For me, I use this primarily when I get "stuck" on 4G data and my device isn't making the transition back to 3G quick enough. I've also found that a quick toggle solves most other connectivity issues pretty quickly. Call it a work around to Sprint's... growing pain inflicted network.

Can you disable app notifications for all apps at once? I can't stand going into apps then tap on each app then tap disable notifications for each and every app. There's gotta be a better easier way to do this.
Android 4.x

Not without a custom rom and then you can only disable all notifications and that means emails, text everything. Other then that no. You have to shut each one off.
Thanks.
I found on my galaxy tab s 10.5 it has this ability. It's for everything. Do not disturb. This is in android 5 so I'm looking forward to it. I saw an app in the app store that sounds neat with profiles.
I'd like to try a rom or just go root for my galaxy tab s 10.5 but don't want to mess things up.
Is there a way to get notifications to pop-up when the always on display is active?
You get the icon above the clock. Are you wanting a whole heads up notification or something? The screen to turn on? I don't think there is an option for something like that. At least I haven't seen one.

Yes - I would prefer a pop-up notification for text messages, emails. Was hoping there was a setting I was missing to be able to allow this.
Thanks.

It only shows an icon. I wish it showed the actual message Like Pixel does. but it does not. If your main concern is text messages you can download something like Textra which has an option to wake up the phone when I message arrives. Then you will see the message.

Is there somewhere an app that will also show pop-up messages? Using the Outlook app for example...I find it totally worthless that I get a notification sound but absolutely no popup. I don't want to have to pull the notification center down, I just want a pop up showing the message that I just received.
On that note, I *HATE* how the lock screen INSISTS on combining notifications from an app. If I get 10 emails, I want to see 10 separate notification entries, damn it.
Using Android....is, well, annoying. I shouldn't have to download apps just to make everything work. No wonder my wife rejected the V30 and went back to iOS.

Believe it or not Android is getting better and better with how notifications are handled and how they can be custom tailored per each app. The usage of the notification center is that way for a reason for quick and easy access to your notifications without completely interrupting the user. The cool thing is that there are other apps that you can use in order to adjust the phone to perform how you want it. Android is all about customization. You can have it the way it comes from the manufacturer or you can add apps to customize your experience. For this reason it may take an Android user longer to initially set up a phone vs a iUser.
Good luck.
