[Q] Disable Severe Alerts? - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

Has anyone come across a way to throttle or disabled the severe weather alerts via Messenger? I'm getting 4-6 flash flood warnings an hour (and there's not a cloud in the sky). I'm assuming this feature is integrated via AccuWeather. Any help would be appreciated!
EDIT: Found the option in the Messenger settings.

[Q] Pause ActiveSync or Suppress Notification during "off hours"

I am wondering- I have CM10.1 (I'm using the nightlies) and I'm using the stock email app which I love. However it's missing one feature that I'm hoping another app (whether that's a replacement email app or something that works with the stock email app) might have.
I'd like to "pause" direct-push email functionality during a certain time frame. Essentially I'm tired of seeing emails during my off-hours and I'd like to stop it from syncing automatically during those hours. Or if it helps, just suppress the notification during those hours (it can sync all it wants as long as I don't see it).
Is this a possibility with the stock app?
Anyone?

[Q] Method hooking - or: how to get other apps data

Hi there, Android newbie here
I just came across this WhatsApp widget for Root which is able to display recent messages. I was wondering how the developers managed to get the data from WhatsApp.
As of now, I can think of three possible ways:
a) The widget refreshes its contents whenever it detects activity on the WhatsApp message database.
b) The widget "hooks" methods that get called in one of WhatsApps activities when new messages arrive and mirrors the messages into its own database.
c) The widget listens for push messages with the WhatsApp signature or listens for traffic between WhatsApp and their servers.
I use the termin "hooking" because of the way iOS tweaks are written, I have no idea if this is possible on Android. Which way is more likely? Any suggestions are appreciated
Let me elaborate on the background of my question: I noticed that WhatsApp groups new messages as a single item in the notification window. I'm thinking about selling my iPhone and getting an Android phone, but I would like to have a preview of all incoming messages like iOS's notification center.
Hmm... anyone? is this the wrong board?

[Q] Is it possible to receive an SMS nofication sound w/o icon or pull-down message?

Thanks in advance for any advice.
Here is my pseudo-complicated situation: I have a gate sensor at the front of my property that communicates wirelessly to my automation system. The system can then notify me via text or email anytime my gate sensor is tripped. I would like for my phone to simply act as a doorbell by just making a sound anytime someone drives through my gate. So far I have accomplished this but unfortunately for my organized & partially OCD brain, my phone's notification bar is overloaded with messages that I have to clear several times per day. Basically, I would like for it to make a sound but not to show any icon or notification in the pull-down notifications menu.
I have tried several SMS apps (Handcent, GO SMS Pro, Chomp, Textra and stock) and have been unable to find a way to accomplish this. The closest thing I've found is to use the "privacy inbox" on several of these apps that allows me to place any messages from the automation system into a different inbox. I'm able to give it a different sound, different icon and different (or no) LED blink color. Unfortunately, this still leaves my notifications pull-down menu riddled with alerts from my gate sensor.
I don't know if there is an Android-based work-around or if anyone can recommend a decent SMS app that would give me this option. I have tried the same thing with email but not only do I run into the same problem, but the delay in the syncing of the email defeats the purpose because the person will usually already be at my door before I hear the tone. Because of this, I would like to stick with the SMS method.
There may also be another option that is outside the box that I have yet to consider.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan

Help Creating a Persistent Notification

I have a Huawei Mate 8 running EMUI 5.0 without root (no root developed yet), which is a Nougat-based skin, but I would guess my question is broadly applicable.
I use Android Auto via my in-dash system (rather than standalone). Android Auto, as many know, locks you out of your phone, presumably for safety reasons. Previously, you could just hit the multitask button on the phone and it would allow you to access your other apps. However, with Nougat, the multitask button is gone. This is a problem for me, since I use Hangouts Dialer, which is unsupported by Android Auto, for my calls.
There is still a way of getting around the lockout--if you swipe down the notifications shade, and somebody texted you on Hangouts, for example, you can open the notification and it takes you to Hangouts. Same with any other notification (e.g. you received an email, you can open the Gmail app, etc..) However, this relies on a notification being there organically.
To get to my question: is there a way to create a persistent notification--e.g. a permanent Hangouts notification that is not related to whether somebody messaged you or a permanent Gmail notification that is not tied to whether somebody emailed you something. I looked online and could not find anything on this. Any ideas?

Gmail/Hangouts/Groupme/etc failing to receive push notifications

Hi all,
I'm running a custom rom on a Huawei H1611 Ascent XT with only addition modification being Magisk V12 (I've tried posting this question in it's thread, but so far no luck https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/rom-ascend-xt-nexusxt-b160-t3597766 ). The rom replaced lots of stock apps with google apps so maybe something is going on there.
Basically, gmail, hangouts, and groupme all fail to notify me of a new email or message, especially when the phone is off. As a test, if someone sends me a hangout message, I won't receive it until I open the hangouts app.
I've gone through all the notification settings, the battery optimization settings (ensure gmail, play services, hangouts all set to no battery optimize), and can't find ANYTHING to cause this issue. Also done multiple wipes and reflashes.
I feel like one time I read about a blocked wakelock causing an issue similar to this but I can't recall it. Does anyone know what could cause an issue like this and how can I figure out what is going on? Driving my crazy...
thanks!
