Hi everyone,
I searched the web for quit a time now, but did not find anything to answer my question:
Is there any way to disable the icons in the notification bar which appear while apps running in background without losing their full funktion?
For example I have an "Anti-Virus Program", "LBE Security Master" an "Tasker" running in Background. There a little Icons shown in the Status-Bar and big notifications when I pull down the notification bar. Of course many apps have an option to disable this, but they tell me that they won´t work right anymore if I would disable that. Since Jelly-Bean, I think, there is a way to disable notifications from every app but same thing here - apps seem not to work right anymore.
Is there a way to get rid of the icons or the big notifications without losing their funktion?
Thanks for answers

Really no one has that problem?
This is a very good forum but sadly in very most cases no one answers...

I am running my application on a Viewsonic G Tablet. The application is marked to run full screen in the manifest, and it does so. However the notification bar is still displayed and overlayed on my view (this is not the standard Android behavior). Unfortunately, if I have any controls that are underneath the controls on the notification bar, the user is not able to access them. How do I turn the bar off. I notice that some apps (e.g. Angry Birds) display full screen without the bar.
Thanks.
I've been able to do it using the Zeam Launcher. Under action bindings set double tap to toggle the fullscreen.
Pretty much every non-stock browser has the option to hide the status bar. I recommend VTL launcher for tablets and zeam for phones.

I guess I am a little confused. You both talk about launchers, but I am not sure what you are referring to. Is this something the user can do to remove the status bar by using a particular launcher? If so, that is not what I am asking. I am the developer of the app in question, and I want to set it up so that it automatically runs full screen without a status bar. This seems to be possible, because there are apps which do that (e.g. Angry Birds).
Thanks
Ah, I see. Maybe another app developer could chime in because this is way above my knowledge.

Are you by chance running CM7 or Vegan Ginger?
These have an option (part of the Mad-Murdock Tablet Tweaks) to override the 'full screen' request by apps and keep the status bar available. This is due to some tablets not having hardware buttons (and on the G-tab, they are hard to see in the dark, etc).
If this is the case, you will not be able to over-ride that. It's specifically a user-option.
If you are not on one of those ROMs, then I can't help
Hi all.
I'm trying to the following for months now:
You know that most of the tablets with android 3+ have this large black bar at the bottom. I'm not sure how it is called but I mean this bar where the clock, back and home button and the notification icons are on.
On the middle area of this bar there is always much space depending on the number of notifications on the right.
My idea was to use this space for shortcuts to apps or tasker tasks. Just like in windows the Quick Launch Toolbar on the task bar.
But until now I haven't found any solution.
Here is what I have:
I'm using tasker scenes to build my own shortcut buttons. Then I displayed these buttons as always on top and half transparent directly on the screen in the normal application display area. It seems that tasker is not able to display these buttons over the system bar. So this isn't a complete solution of my problem since the free display space on the bar is still not in use.
On the other hand I do know that it must be possible to program apps which are overlayed on the system bar since other apps can be placed over it.
Anyway...
I'm searching for a clean solution to get shortcuts on the system bar to start apps or tasker tasks with one click or touch.
Please help if you can or just post if you are also like to see such a solution. Maybe an app developer picks up this idea.

I would also love to see this solution!
I have an IPcam App called SYSD that keeps 2 annoying icons on the top left of my LG G2 phone, I dont like them at all.
But I need the app to be always on, because it is very important as it should always work, it rings when a motion is detected.
Is there a way to hide these icons without causing an interference in the running app?
Any help? Problem with no solution?
Nothing ?
At all?
You can use something like AOSP Status Bar, but you'll need to root your phone I believe. Any mod that allows you to disable persistent notifications is what you're looking for. There are various options and they're usually specific to your phone model, but that's what you're looking for.
Hi, there
there is many devices and apps that require them to be running all the time to make them work for example smartbands, they have a notification saying connected, maybe one is fine, but i have 2 apps that require this and have to notification there all the time that I find annoying, is there any way to maybe have them running still but just hide the notifications?
If you're running Nougat, you can slide the notification to either side and open the settings for that app. There, press the encircled A and select the priority of the notification accordingly.
bump, can someone have a look
On Pie and rooted. Is there any way to fix the "4 status bar icons max" issue?
Hello! I've searched far and wide and have read tons of complaints about this issue, but no resolutions. Those complaining posts I found were from several months ago, so I was hoping maybe a resolution came about.
It seems as though for whatever reason (possibly due to phones now having notches), Google has made it so there can be no more than 4 notification icons in the system tray. This is extremely aggravating to me. I typically have my weather app showing me the temperature in the status bar, and now I can't see that any more without swiping down. I also have no idea if I have a new notification from eBay because Wunderlist and my text notification icon take up those spaces.
There is PLENTY of room on my status bar for more notifications, so this stupid "dot" is annoying me to no end. My phone is rooted. Is there any way to double the height of the status bar so I can see all my notifications? Or if that's not an option, is there a way to just tell Android Pie to behave like Oreo and just show me all of the notification icons it can fit in my status bar?
Again I am rooted, on Pie, on an original Pixel XL, so I am hoping there's some answers out there for me, but I am not finding anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
