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?

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.

Is there a program that is causing the pop up ads on the 3D and if so how do I get rid of it?
Not root yet (waiting on Myn) so I cannot use ad blocker.
Uninstall it.

You can use CPU spy (i think thats the name...never had to use it myself but i hear its good for runaway apps) or maybe even the battery info tool built in to see what, if anything, is running after a fresh boot besides stock apps. Once you isolate the item you can remove the faulting APK and hopefully be in the clear. If its an APK you just got to have i'd root and install AdFree by Big Tin Can to install and maintain an actively updated hosts file that routes all typicall ad call's back to the local machine (set address 127.0.0.1).
Hope this helps some man!
Pop ups....? Seems like some sort of malware app.

It's some apps that are giving you the ads. Unistall the last app you installed.

Some developers are doing this type of advertising now. Check comments for the complaints. I know there are apps to detect some of these advertising methods but I can't remember them. I've had it happen with some live wallpapers and games. If I'm not mistaken, I've had it happen with at least 1 app from the GO Dev team (maybe a wallpaper they did? Can't remember).
Thanks for the responses but if I knew which app was doing the ads I would delete it.
How do I find out which app is causing the ads which are on the notification bar?

Ads in the notification bar are called AirPush ads (new company introduced them). There's an app called AirPush-Detector that will tell you what apps are using it. See if that helps.
I installed a few apps from the google app marketplace over the last week or two, and found I'm getting random advertisements popping up under my phones notifaction list ( Where you can drag down the menu at the top of your phones screen and see recent events. ) There are also buttons being placed in empty locations on my phones main tabs, like shortcuts to applications or widgets, and they link me to the web. ( I have multiple browsers and just close the box when it asks which browser to use. )
I don't understand where this is coming from or what I have to do to get rid of it... I understand that some apps have advertisements, but those are only while the application is actually opened and being used I thought. This has been sending me messages waking me up when I'm sleeping, It's kinda sorta bull**** lol... And I don't think I need an anti virus program constantly zapping my Notes resources, but yeah...
Any comments? What do I do to pinpoint which program is causing it, and will removing that app even fix the problem?
Seems you got airpush install somehow, download add on detector from the market

Make sure you post which app it was so we can all avoid it. 1 star it in the market and say it has AirPush and to avoid it before you uninstall it please!
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?
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..
