Hi guys, I hate ads push notification so I disabled every possible ad option I could find.
I even disabled the Google AdMob Ads in the playstore settings.. I also installed "Air Push Detector" to detect apps that pushing ads in the notification bar.
My question is, why I can still received push notification ads from "Com2us" and "Rage of bahamutt" games? Their apps is not even listed in the Air Push Detector App..
A moment ago I received a push notification about free gems of Inotia 4. I wonder where this came from as I checked the services running and cached and there's no inotia4 services/cache like program running in the background.
How can they push notification if I'm not even running their program and there's no trace of backround process running?
Could someone enlighten me on this.
PS: I like their games so I dont want to uninstall them..
Thanks in advance

Any Android Devs there that could clarify this?

Okay, I got done. I used to use Shadow Era and then got an update a while ago, which had airpush ads in it. So repulsed by this was I that I deleted the app from the phone. I have run airpush detector and it says I'm clean. I have put my IMEI number into the manual optout on the airpush website. However it looks like I am still occasionally getting this notification spam (white star with red circle in it). Its on a rare basis (once a week at most) and whilst I can still ingore it easily I'm kind of ticked because I'm not using the program for the ads anymore. I cannot use their optout app on the market as its not compatible with my Motorola milestone 2.
Is there any other way to block/remove this advertising? Or am I a unique case that has fallen though the cracks (yes I have emailed airpush today)
Same thing here after installing AmeriCan Android. How do you remove this?
That Airpush is being an annoyance lately. I hate that thing a lot. Now I'm starting to push them back by reducing the app rating to 1 star for all those apps using Airpush and also write warning remark.
For App developers, you can put In-App advs, which we can bear having while we're using ur app. but while we're not using ur app, don't hog our phones and our notification by this malicious adv push. A
I am quite happy for airpush detector as it found air push in a theme i had downloaded for go launcher, that i wasn't using, was the culprit. The theme had updated and added in air push later on.
I released an app that can block Airpush ads on Rooted devices.
To get more info go to the market: https://market.android.com/details?id=pl.byq.airblocker
Ads on notification bar is just another form of mobile advertising.
I don't agree they show notification ads while not using the app,
But I only agree if they show the notification ads when the app is running !
I hope Airpush will change their attitude in future, (and perhaps Admob also have option to include ads on notification bar too, so devs can earn more money)

here is the most advanced app to remove airpush packets
Hey guys, over the past week and a bit I've been getting these advertising notifications in my notification area.
So far they have been trying to get me to download some games, and im assuming that the notifications are being cause by a game/app i have installed.
It can be pretty tricky to keep track of all the updates i do, and i dont always read the change logs for stuff like this.
So i was hoping that someone would recognise these notifications, and hopefully tell me what game/app they are caused by - so i can uninstall it.
Screen shots attached.
Thanks a lot for any help.
down load air push app from market.
it will tell you what app is causing the notification,then delete it
You can install "Addons Detector" or "AirPush Detector" from the market, they will tell you which application have those notification.
[EDIT: I was writing when thorur published the answer. No intention to steal a good answer ]
These notifications are usually caused by dodgy wallpaper apps or games.
You can download Addons Detector (Market Link) or AirPush Detector (Market Link) to find the source app.
great! thanks a lot for the tips guys, ill check out those apps and try to monitor what is causing the notifications.
Ill let you know how i go.
thanks again.
This happened to me once. It was from an app I downloaded from the Market. I found out it was pushing ads to my notification bar by reading the reviews later on. I removed the app but the notifications kept coming.
I was lucky that I was just about to flash another ROM at the time so doing a full wipe helped solve the problem I guess.
ddoublee,
that's not very encouraging. I uninstalled the app i though was responsible - Sketch Me Pro - But i am stilling getting the advertisements.
So now i need to try to figure out if it is another app causing them - or something else.
probably more trouble than its worth.
cheers.
-------EDIT-----
I have just noticed that all the ads are for games from the same developer - and i have one of these games installed.
RAIDEN-Sky Force Ace is the game i have installed. Hopefully removing it will remove the ads.
Note - the addons (as detected by Addons Detector) for this game are Fortumo and PayPal - listed as developer tools.
So i removed the game, and a lingering notification disapeared immediately.
thanks for your help guys.
Can anyone identify permissions the app would required for sending notifications to the notification bar like this? something to look out for in the future.
cheers.
i would use a custom rom that supports pdroid to get rid of this notifications without deleting games. Also use Droidwall to prevent some games or apps to get access to internet!
Is your phone rooted?
Do you have ClockWorkMod?
A quick solution would be to back up all your contacts and apps and clear the cache/factory reset through ClockWorkMod restore everything and see if you still get the ads pushed.

bro, aku rase tak related.. tue airpush tue..
Hello everyone.I'm looking for a consistent method to fully disabled the system area ads that many apps make use of and this at the end goes far beyond spam.
In ICS we could uninstall the adservice and ads were gone. Jb doesn't have this but you can disable individual notifications which is still not enough since the service still runs in memory.
I haven't managed to locate this service or to find any method to disable ads (except from notifications option) so, if someone finds a way, please share
Root your phone and install AdFree Android from market. Ads will disappear - both in applications and taskbar.

Nope, that will only work for ads within the app. I have always been using it but taskbar ads use a different agent

That did not do the work.
says it can not detect anything, when you run it it loads up but does not find anything framework related to these ads.
for instance i always wanted to know how to remove them aswell but couldnt find a way very annoying they are they start up every time you reboot.
for instance a game called : CK Zombies installs its own ads service that runs in the background constantly called :GluNotificationService
Real annoying and no way to perminently remove that i have found yet.
I am still getting ads pushed to my notification bar even after I deleted all the apps which are using Airpush. How is this possible?
I've tried several Airpush detector apps including 'Airpush Finder' (which found that 2 GoSMS themes had Airpush, so I deleted them). Now there is 0 apps detected using Airpush...however I am still getting ads in my notification bar. The latest one was something like, "40% OFF SALE FOR 100th...Redefine your phone with this 3D Launcher..."
I suspect its coming from the new version of Go Launcher EX which I recently updated, but I have no way to verify it since nothing is being detected. Could it also be some bit of code left on my phone from the previous airpush apps which I deleted? I don't know where its coming from. Please help.

When an add is displayed in your notification bar, press and hold it.. then it will show the 'App info' option.. click on that and then you will come to know which app is pushing these ads..

Thanks for these 2 quick replies, heres some more info: I am not rooted and I am using Gingerbread 2.3.6
I tried long-pressing the ad as amith007 suggested, but nothing happened.
Sometimes when you download an app it starts to pop up ads on the notification bar all day long. When you uninstall that app those ads go away. I uninstalled all recent apps I downloaded but the add keeps popping up. Is there a way to find out which app is doing this? Or is there a way to find out where or what is triggering this if the app in question has been removed?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Jep, lots of "free" apps show ads while they are running so either there's still an app running as background service which causes that or you caught rogue adware somehow.
There are some adware catching apps around and I had tested one of them; unfortunately I can't remember the name . But since Android 4.2 (?) there's some help build-in:
If you have such an ad bar in your notifications, hold-tap it until a one-point menu "App Details" pops up. Tick that and you'll get to the details of the app which causes this notification. From here you know which app annoys you, you can stop / terminate, deactivate and uninstall it.
HTH.
