AS far as i know , mokee contains the feature to lock app at recent list , so it makes it un clearable.
Also theres a tasker solution to it. I use tasker for pretty much everything , so this should help
Method:-
Open Tasker, create a task, select "App" and select Load app. Select your app that you want to hide from recent list. There is an option for you to "Tick" to remove from recent list. Save it.
Note:-
You can then export the task as an app. Install the app that you've created. You can now load it without it show on the recent list.

Clearing all apps is pointless doesn't help unless your phone is having major issues.

Hi, I just switched completely from iOS to Android after I while I used an iPhone and a Nexus 7 together. Now I replaced the iPhone with a Samsung Galaxy S4.
I'm pretty happy, but there are a couple of things I still completely grasp about how Android notifications work.
My first issue is related to *blocking mode* and Whatsapp. I have the same issue reported in this discussion.
It seems that the app can bypass Android notification system and relies on something else. Is that true? How can that happen?
I have another concern related to the use of vibration when sound is turned on. It seems that the system-wide settings refers only to phone calls, while for other notifications I have to rely on app-specific settings. Am I correct?
Taking for example facebook app, what would happen if I disable vibration and put the phone in silent mode? Will it vibrate?
Finally, I'd like to have a iOS-like notification list on the lock screen. So far I managed to get it for some applications (Messages, Whatsapp), but I'd really like to have some system-wide properties.
Generally speaking, can you please give me a link to Android documentation explaining what aspects of notifications it manages system-wide and what is responsibility of each application?
I'd really like to see as much as possible managed by the operating system, but from what I am experiencing it seems that it is exactly the other way round with a lot of settings left to the applications.
Blocking mode is a Samsung feature AFAIK. Maybe WhatsApp is using the media channel for notifications instead of the notifications channel? Not sure.

Take a look at DashClock with one of the many extensions (e.g. AnyDash), NiLS Notifications Lock Screen, or any similar widget.
There's also Floating Notifications, which can show you (bubbles of) your notifications on your lockscreen.
Thanks for the links and for the hypothesis on Whatsapp notifications.
It seems that I have to choose either to have the pattern lock or to add multiple widgets. Am I right?
Is there any way to have both notifications and pattern lock?
I'm afraid pattern lock is again a Samsung specific feature so I'm a concerned about possible integration issues with other widgets.
What about the other question about system-wide vs per-app settings?

Samsung disabled widgets with the secure lockscreen for some reason. There's an Xposed module to re-enable it, but you need the Xposed framework (and root).
I'm not sure about the vibration question.
My device is still not-rooted and I am not very keen on rooting.
I did some research and I found Popup Notifier (Sorry but I still can't post links to external websites) that seems what I need.
I'm going to try it and I'll let you know how it works.

Unfortunately it Popup Notifier is not what I was looking for. I'd like more to have an iOS-like list of notifications rather than popups.
It also felt a bit too hackish that I had to disable text to speech service and enable the app's accessibility service.
I have the feeling that they're misusing accessibility features as a workaround to access notification information.
I see that there are custom lockers. Is it possible to install them without rooting the device? If I install one of them would I be able to setup notifications as I like, add the pattern widget and leave the rest of the system as it is?

All applications need Accessibility to get the notifications' content, prior to Android 4.3, AFAIK. Or root.

You can install custom lockscreens without root, but you'll also need Accessibility.

Did 4.3 introduce new APIs to let applications access notifications?
Is there any new app that already uses them? I'd like to try them on my Nexus 7 and then use one also on my S4 once Samsung releases the updated version of the system.

Applications can now use notification listeners, which allow them to detect new notifications (and when they're cleared) from an app. I think Floating Notifications uses it if you're on 4.3, but it's not exactly what you want.
Yes,unfortunately it's not what I'm looking for. I'll keep checking. I hope new app relying on the new features will be published soon

I came across a few DashClock extensions which do that, although for specific apps. You might want to try a few and see if this is what you want.
Hangouts DashClock Extension
WhatsApp, Facebook, Viber and LINE (4 different extensions) by Tiger-Workshop
You'll need DashClock for these, of course.
Other than that, there's DynamicNotifications you might be interested in. Not quite what you're looking for, but it might do the trick for now.
DynamicNotifications seems very cool. I'll give it a try
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
Just in case you don't read the portal, this DashClock extension does what you want by using the notification listener features, instead of Accessibility services.
Thanks for sharing the link! I'll give it a try. It is very promising

Extra protection for your apps
With this app you could protect app with a password, PIN or pattern. The Android lockscreen is used for that. The protection could not be removed with a simple long press on back-button, like with most other apps. You could even protect not straight startable apps eg the package-installer.
Donation: You could select a unlimited count of apps.
TouchWiz users (most Samsung devices): Please enable in settings the compat mode BEFORE reboot the device with enabled module!
Features:
All features are supported since Android 4.2. With older versions not supported options are hidden in the settings.
Different observation modes: First start of apps or while using it
Duration of unlock time configurable
Autmatic locking could be switched off.
Notification options: Always, while unlocked, never
Duration of unlock could be configured
Pre-lock slider could be disabled for app unlocking
Minimal and maximal time frame of unlocking configurable
Examples:
The device is protected by slider, protected apps with a PIN
The device is protected by slider and PIN+TimePIN, protected apps with pattern
Or you could use custom unlock mehtods without the keyguard:
Crash report
Knock Code
Pattern
PIN
Password
Recommendation:
For extreme protection select these apps:
Play Store (install/remove apps)
Xposed Installer (enable/disable modules)
Package-Installer (install/remove apks)
Settings (Android system settings)
ProtectedApps (configure protected apps)
WARNING: Please configure and check ProtectedApps with other apps before!
Coloring:
YELLOW: System app, could be started by launcher.
YELLOW+BLUE: System app, not straight startable.
BLUE: User app, not straight startable.
Donator:
No self-promotion in the app.
More than 5 apps could be selected.
You support this app and further development!
Permissions:
DEVICE_ADMIN: Lock device (required)
BOOT_COMPLETE: Show persistent notification (optional)
Modules reported not correct working with this app:
DS Battery saver
Lockscreen disabler
This app does not connect itself to any websites or hosts!
Important:
This app needs the Xposed Framework. The framework requires root access for installation. Don't forget to enable the module in Xposed. You can grab it here: Xposed Installer
Website: http://tinyurl.com/lfw2pdu
Play Store: http://tinyurl.com/lp4fn99
Xposed Repository: http://tinyurl.com/oxdejr9
Changelog: http://tinyurl.com/of6gvex
Why this app? Killing "protection" by long touch on back button could be optimized

Even though it might compromise security, could you add an option to disable locking while in home Wi-Fi net (or BT etc)? Or add a Tasker shortcut to do so?

I think Tasker Support is better, so could many events beused. What about that: PA accept a broadcast, it contains
1) "mode" extra: protect apps, unlock forever and maybe unlock apps for the duration set in settings
2) "password" extra: In the settings could be a password defined and tasker has to add it to the broadcast. So not every app could send a broadcast.

That's not so easy, android does not "closes" apps, it "pauses" them. Eg if you hit HOME button while an app is open it is paused. Therefore is in the menu of PA an "exit" item.
You could get ~~ what you want if you set the oservation method to "create" and the unlocked time to it's minimum (its 30 atm)

Nice to hear that you're going to integrate with Tasker to control app protection.
Any plans to support app grouping so we can lock/unlock groups of certain apps depending on (Tasker-)context?

You could disable whole xposed with pushing five times a hardware key during boot. After that you have to enable it again in installer! Can you get before that a logcat and attach?

Please check that the folder "files" was created in /data/data/de.defim.apk.protectedapps. There should be also "cache" and something with shared-preferences. There was with another app also the case the "files" was not created, this should be done by android while installing the app. If you create it by yourself, set the same user&permissions like "de.defim.apk.protectedapps" has
bugs/suggestions
If there is no lock screen set for the phone then protected apps are impossible to open. Further if there is no lock screen set for the phone then it is also impossible to set a different locking method for protected apps and different methods that were set when the phone did have a lock screen stop working when the lock screen is removed.
So suggestion would be to make a way for your app to work even if the user has screen lock set to "None".

Nice quick fix. I'll give it a test.
Tested:
Looks good. Minor detail; in settings under "method to unlock apps" if "Don't change" is selected then the checkbox "Use a custom patter/PIN/password" does nothing. I'll probably play around more but you've got my donation.
Also: in settings what is the difference between the "time after which a new unlocking is requested"(self explanatory) and "minimal/maximal duration of unlocking"?
Really nice mod. Is it possible to evolve it so that you can have protection for selected operations on the device? Demand pin for deleting SMS or whatever the user choose to protect..?

Hey there!
So, I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini, running Kitkat (4.4.2).
I'm looking for the best lockscreen app there is to find, but I wasn't quite able to find it yet...
I want a lockscreen app under these conditions:
- Free
- Which allows me to INTERACT with notifications (quick reply messaging apps like Telegram, not only SMS!) right on the lockscreen, without having to unlock it
- Which has a music controller (I use Spotify, and so far I haven't found one lockscreen app which DOESN'T support it. It's important to me, though, so I'll just list this here too...)
- (Optional) Which allows me to use a Pattern lock, or at least a PIN/password one
- (Optional) Which allows me to, even in the lockscreen, dropdown my notifications/status bar. Almost none of the apps I tried let me do this (only Echo and ZUI, I guess, since Android KitKat itself doesn't allow me to drop down the bar when there's a lock set)
- (Optional) Which has any kind of quick app launcher
Can you guys PLEASE help me?

I don't quite understand your question. Do you want to put Google camera at your homescreen? or do you want to just change the icon of the Google camera?
Well if you want to do the first one, then you just have to drag and drop the icon at your homescreen, and if you want to do the latter one then you should install a third party launcher.

Hello Digigoon,
I would like to do the same as iMaxime.
We do not want to change icon in HOME screen, we would like to change application triggered by LOCK screen icon.
That is... we may not be able to have the fast picture feature in-build in Honor camera app, but we would be able to launch the third-party camera app from the lock screen. May be more complicated than that, but could you please help us? Is this even possible?

As far as I know, you can't do that with stock ROM (or any that isnt customizable on that way). You'll need to download a launcher or an app do costumize your lockscreen

You may try and freeze the native camera app and install the app you want. If there is no FC, then any shortcut will lead to Google Camera as it will be assumed as the default (only) camera app.
I´ve removed myself some useless system apps and some others just can´t be removed. Never tried camera.
Settings > Apps > Advanced > Default App Settings > Camera.
If you change it from there, doesn't it get changed from the lock screen?

You can use a method described by Paul O'Brian but you will have to dig for it a bit.
I don't recall specifically but he used something like
pm.hide.something
To hide the native app and use the one you want. After that, it will use your custom app.
Tag him in the post and he can clarify more.
