[Lollipop] HeadsUpNotifications and WhatsApp - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I could really use some help troubleshooting this sorta misbehaviour on my Nexus 5 (5.1.1 stock/no root etc) with WhatsApp 2.12.176 (latests Play Store release to date).
So I get no heads up notifications from WhatsApp at all and at all lollipop notification states(none/priority/all).
In my system settings priority interruptions are reminders and alerts, calls/messages from starred/priority contacts.
Btw in WhatsApp popups are set to screen off only but I already tried all available settings inside WhatsApp.
But heads up does work with e.g. Snapchat which I manually marked as priority app.
What I want: I want heads up notifications or better I want headsup notifications for my priority contacts!
I factory reset my phone after upgrading to 5.1.1 so now old crap still laying around.

Jelly Bean Notification Vibrations

Hey guys so I was wondering if there's a way to manage the notifications for apps separately. From what I understand this is a new feature of 4.2. I know I can get around it in liquidsmooth but I'm now back on touchwiz and would like a work around.
So here's the issue...
When in vibrate mode all notifications vibrate if the app's settings have sound notifications on. It doesn't matter if I uncheck vibrate in the app's settings.
What I would like to do is...
Be able to be in these three modes
1) silent mode - every notification is silent
2) vibrate mode - my texts, Google voice, Facebook messenger, and hangouts notifications vibrate, NOT my emails and various push notifications
3) sound mode - all notifications make a sound
This has been possible in previous versions of android and in aosp roms but haven't found a way to in touchwiz yet, haven't even found an app to manage notifications. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

[Q] Disabling heads up notifications on Lollipop

Hello,
I've updated my WhatsApp last night to v2.11.476 and it starts showing heads up notifications that, no matter what i try, unable to turn off. This only happens to individual chats though. Group chats still behave like before, i.e. icon just show up in the notification bar.
I also cant disable the vibrations no matter which settings i use. This is driving me nuts. Is there a way i can tun the heads up notifications off ONLY for specific apps? I suppose once I'm able to do this the problem with the vibrations will go off too.
Thanks.
With HeadsOff lollipop heads-up notifications can now be disabled!
No root needed.
You can also restore the ticker text in the statusbar!

Thanks a lot! We will probably add some new features today or tomorrow, we'll keep you updated.

Really great module, jumped in to say how useful this is! Will buy pro version in a few days if all keeps working as cool as it does now.
Small question here, would it be possible to set a dark theme for the heads-up? This way reduced opacity could be even more useful than it now is, since I find I can't lower opacity that much with the stock light theme of heads-ups without losing reading capabilities on low backlight setups.
Keep up the awesome work!

Hi All,
We uploaded version 1.3, you can install it from Google Play, Xposed Repository or directly from the first post of this thread.
Version 1.3 adds the option to define in notification rules whether to hide notification ticker, title and / or content (each can be hidden independently of the others).
This gives great flexibility for protecting your notifications from wondering eyes, prevent notifications from occupying space with long and useless text, etc.
If you have any question, issue or feature request please let us know.
Feedback and suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Hi,
i have a little feature request.
While i drive with my car, i'am connected over bluetooth to my car. Whenever a new WhatsApp message arrive, the app "OutLoud" reads the notification text via Google Text to Speech over the car speakers. Everything good so far. But when there are >= 2 new messages in a WhatsApp group, "OutLoud" will read "2 new messages" because the ****ty WhatsApp stacks all messages in one notification and the notification say "2 new messages" then. So there is also an option in "OutLout" for that problem, which dismisses the notification as soon as they arrive. This works pefectly, but the dismiss of the notifications doesn't set the WhatsApp message as read. Then when a new message will arrive, a new notification is created with the "old" messages in it, because they are not marked as read.
Now to my feature request. Maybe you can add a option which enables/disables a function, which marks the whatsapp message as read, when the notification is dismissed. Should be simply to integrate as you already integrated the mark as read funtion and an event for the dismiss notification part. I think this would also a cool feature for other apps, like telegram.
That would be awesome Thanks for the cool app

Chris

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback and suggestion. Basically this can be done (configured in settings).
We'll see if we can distinguish between scenarios the case where the user dismisses the notification and the case where a code dismisses the notification, but if we cannot make this distinguish it will mean that you'll have to toggle this option on and off (if you don't always want conversations to be marked as read when dismissing notifications).
We'll update about it, thanks and enjoy
Really nice to see that the dev team is so active and open for feature suggestions.
What about a GMail "mark as read" option? Would be pretty helpful to not have to open the app to mark as read.
great app keep up with the hard work

We'll check Gmail / Inbox along with other apps (Hangouts, Telegram and more) in the very near future for notifications enhancements, and of course we will update.

Thanks for investigating.
Maybe it would be also an option to unstack notifications messages for certain apps. For example: Whatsapp stacks all notifications if there are more than one message for a user/group. iOS does it like this. Every notification is a single notification. There is no stacking of notifications. I think some people like the iOS notifications system more (Including me ).

Why no option in Lollipop to enable only audio notifications for whatsapp?

Hi,
I recently migrated from iOS to Android Lollipop. I am very disappointed the way Android deals with application notifications. In iOS, I used to disable all pop-up as well as notification bar notifications for Whatsapp while the audio alert will be enabled so that I can hear the audio notification n understand a whatsapp message has arrived while others who peep on to my device won't understand from which app the alert came. I don't see that option here. I tried everythin under the Application Notifications settings but no luck.
Can someone look into this and let me know if it can be done in Android? If so, what am I doin wrong here?

Prevent Android apps from auto-dismissing push notifications

I realized that push notifications e.g. from Discord disappear from the lockscreen and menu bar on Android 8 when read on another device (mobile) where I'm logged in with the same account due to synchronizing. The same applies to some notifications from YouTube when notifying of a livestream. As soon as it's over, the notification disappears.
Is there a way to prevent apps from auto-closing push notifications themselves without me actually swiping them? Is there an app or launcher that has this feature?
Appreciate your advice!
Any help ?
