after installing stupid app I start to get these ads I removed the apps but still getting these ads
anyway to stop these stupid ads ??
thanks
Probably you still have installed the app that is causing the ad to appear. There are some applications that can detect which apps are showing ads like that. But i can't remember the app name, sorry, you'll have to search a bit for it.
Or, if you are rooted, you can install an ad blocking app, like AdAway.
Use airpush scanner

i'm going to guess its a rouge app. some developers are putting ads into apps now. i believe its called air push that they use, and yes it can be quite intrusive. look up airpush detector in the market and see if that helps
Downloaded it still getting them

You've downloaded an app that's causing it. Look at your running apps and that may help pinpoint what's causing it. You can try rebooting and then immediately checking what auto-starts - typically apps that display ads like that will auto-start.
You can download System Tuner free from the Market and open it up and go to Apps > Startups (at the top) and see what's being launched upon startup in there. Be safe and double check anything you disable and a backup never hurts...
It is "mp3 ringtone downloader".

You have to run AirPush Detector while the ad is open. It will let you know where it is coming from. Seems like 99% of the time, people are downloading that stupid "MP3 Music Download" (Its LOADED with fake reviews).
most people get it from some MP3 downloader app. do you have something like that?
I am getting them as well, and I don't have a MP3 music downloader on my phone. I don't want these ads, and I think it's bad that a warning is not given before we download an app that use this bloatware.
Ironically, bloat freezer causes this.

I found out that it was a theme that I downloaded from the market.
I also had this start happening when I installed Crackle. After I removed it, the ads went away.

No, it was a Galaxy S2 theme that I downloaded from the market...
The first thing my bro did with his phone is get mp3 app
AirPush Detector (free in the market might help you but it didn't help me). I found Addons Detector to help me. Install from market (free) then Click on "Addons" then find "push notifications" in the filter list then click on "submit". Hoefully it'll find your problem.
Good luck - hope this helps. That notification bar spam was maddening.
i found one from the ICS theme for golauncher. after i deleted the theme the ads went away.

I've been getting ads in my notification area a lot lately. And I don't even know what app causes it.
When I click on it, it takes me to web browser to a random games site every time.. this time it was street wars..
I uploaded a screenshot of it. So anybody got any idea what's causing it?

I use to have the same problem. I am using LBE Privacy Guard. You can set up custom DATA access and denial rights for each app. And you can restrict access to the phones hardware info as well.
You can get AirPush Detector or Addons Detector from the Market. Either one should tell you which app(s) is/are responsible for the notification spam.
Which browser are you using? The stock browser?

I doubt it has to do with your browser (but I am notsure about that). I was getting a green plus sign(others have gotten a white star with a red dot) in the notification area which led to a webpage about being a prize winner - SPAM. I found the culprit in my case: an app called "Bloat Freezer". Once removed, ads were gone. There are many more apps plus some live wallpapers that do the same thing.
As Telyx mentioned above, try Airpush Detector and Addons Detector (free in market) to find the offending app and then uninstall that app. In my case, airpush detector didn't find anything but when using addons detector and fiiltering for "push notifications", I found the problem.
Good luck!
Edit:
Another option to get rid of this crap:
Airblocker - Airpush Block
ByQ Develop
(get it in the market)
I have made the mistake of responding to an ad that I got on my phone. Now I am getting random notifications on my status bar. They are links to crap no one wants. Does anyone know how to prevent them from coming to my phone? Thanks!

Usually notification ads are caused by some ad-supported app using something like Airpush. I recommend you run Addons Detector to see if there are any offending apps and remove them.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.denper.addonsdetector&hl=en
You can also opt out of the Airpush notification ads by following the directions at the following link. You do have to install and run their opt out app, but then you can remove it.
http://www.airpush.com/optout
Finally, if you are rooted, you can run AdAway:

Hi i was wandering if there is an app or something that blocks the porn websites or those adds with pornography.

Root your phone and install AdAway
Adfree is free better than adway ..

That won't block porn websites - just in-app ads.
OP - does your service provider not give the option of adult filtering at their end? In the UK it's actually turned on by default and you have to request if you want it off.

Try this...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trendmicro.tmmspersonal
It gives you a fully functional version for 90 days and then you have to decide whether to pay or not. It has parental block for the internet.
Edit: Actually, a search for parental block apps on Google Play turns up quite a few...

Thanks a lot it works
Nice idea to use a parental control for myself!

Awesome App that modifing HOST file in your android , and more advance than other ads block app's , that u can update it easily form the application
Suggest "ROM Toolbox"
One of the tools in ROM Toolbox Lite is a hosts-file modifier that can block ads, casinos, porn, and 'risky' domains. Seems to work well and it's nice and simple (as long as you've rooted your phone of course).

I'm also looking for android filtering apps to block sites while surfing or use apps. But it seems it's a little more difficult to make it than developing the features on Mac or Windows operating system. I use Aobo Internet Filter ( http://aobo.cc/aobo-filter.html ) for Mac and PC, but can't find any apps to block unwanted sites for android phones. I want to know if you found anyone, just tell me, thanks.
No wonder if you can't find any of your favorite ad blocking apps such as AdAway in Google play, Google is removing them as of today.

They prevent developers from making money. Obviously it would be happening sooner or later, I'm also surprised they remained until now.
No big deal to me. People need to make money somehow. Frankly, though, I prefer those that offer a free ad-supported version and a paid version. If I use an app a lot I'd rather just pay for it and remove the ads. It's often a bummer when people only offer ad-supported versions of apps.

You can still get AdAway from F-Droid.
Also, you can do ad blocking at the kernel level and it is already implemented in custom kernels for our phone.
Just block ads by host file I can link the file here https://www.dropbox.com/s/hat49do241hhuy8/hosts.rar or quick Google search, even quicker download, use a file explorer that has root privileges move the file to /system/etc/ rename your old one or just over write it........ GL
EDIT: You will need to unzip/unrar it then move it to /system/etc/
Re: Ad blocking apps are nuked from play store
Also I posted an ad away here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39144524
Compiled from source. So plenty of options for everyone.
AdAway has been my favorite, can't live w/o it.
Thanks a lot, gents
