How about this app --> Notification History

Personally I need to find historical notifications, this app only shows notifications after its running.

Android doesn't keep a log of old notifications, so no, you can't view them by any method. You can use the above app to record notifications from now on, but you can't view your old ones.

Thanks, screenshot will have to do.

Its been years since the OP message. Essentially I am stuck in the same situation on a Jelly bean phone and Lollipop tablet.
I am using an app(TaskRabbit) with text messages ability.
Need to log all my online sessions when using the app but unfortunately the app does not allow me to save/print chat sessions. It does push indivudual messages as notifications ...much like gmail app does....How can I log/copy/paste/save/print notifications ? Ideally have that sync on gdrive....
Perhaps a Linux file with the notification history exists?? Anyone???
I found a good app that is able to export notifications "notifications saver" but the app requires Android 4.4+

[Q] disable Facebook Messenger notifications

Hi
Recently chat through the native Facebook app has been disabled, and they're now refering to their 'facebook messenger' app. The only problem with that app is, that I'm not able to disable notifications. It only give me two options --> "An hour" or "Until 8 P.M"... I don't care if anyone have wrote to me on facebook, so is there any "hack", that can solve my problem?

If you are on Jelly Bean or higher, you can long press on the notification, hit App Info and turn off the notifications there. Or just go to Settings / Applications/Application Manager and disable it there. Same thing, just whichever you find easier. If you don't use the app though, just disable it.

[Q] Hangouts - SMS to contact group

I am playing about with Hangouts, nd have set it as my default SMS app.
I have a group contact on my phone called "Team". I would like to send a message to everyone in Team through Hangouts. However it doesn't appear in the contact list?
I was able to do this with stock app.
Running CM11.

You can try to add them to a Google + circle and then you can group message them.
Every Android user is having a Google account so it would be easy to just hangout a circle.

Ok I was able to add everyone to a circle called "Team". BUT not everyone is an android user, I had to add some people via email address.
When I open Hangouts and try to send a SMS to this circle, it is creating a hangout. It doesn't appear to be using SMS? There is no "SMS" in the bottom left of the screen beside where you type your message. How do I know if it will text everyone?

I have the same issue on my Nubia Z7 Max. I work around it by just keeping Viber open all the time.

Notifications text save and sync

I have a Huawei G535-l11 with Android 4.3
How can I get the text content of android notifications saved?

Facebook Messenger app vs. native messaging within Facebook app

What is the advantage of using the Facebook Messenger app if messages can be sent by using the Facebook app directly?
To reply to a message:
Using Facebook app:
Click on notification in notification menu
Type message
Using Messenger app:
Click on notification in notification menu or click on contact bubble
Type message
To type a new message:
Using Facebook app:
Open Facebook app
Click on Message icon
Click compose
Type recipient
Type message
Using Messenger app:
Open Messenger app
Click compose
Type recipient
Type message
So the Messenger app only saves you ONE step (i.e., clicking on the Message icon) in comparison to the Facebook app, in terms of writing a new message. The time saved is negligible.
The only other feature of the Messenger app that I see is that it can send messages to people in your contact list, whether or not they have Facebook, by sending an SMS instead. So it will prefer a Facebook message, but fallback on SMS.
Is there any other advantage of using the Messenger app?

They did, and then they brought it back, probably due in large part to the outcry that ensued.

where did you see that?cant find anything confirming that...Even in this thread there are guys using the re enabler for facebook chat ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-facebook-chat-enabler-t2934179 )
Why would it be necessary to have an enabler if they brought back chat on the main app?
I dont use facebook app and have no way to confirm it right now, but as far as i know, messenger is needed to chat
EDIT: Ok, just tried it, facebook app does not allow chatting. redirects to download messenger. You are probably using the enabler i mentioned earlier.

You are absolutely right, I noticed the interfaces were different between messaging in FB and messaging in the Messenger app, and I wrongly assumed they were independent. However, after disabling Messenger I see that FB messaging doesn't work in the native app, requiring Messenger to be re-enabled.
This essentially renders my question moot. Thanks for the clarification.
