Prevent Android apps from auto-dismissing push notifications - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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 ?

[Lollipop] HeadsUpNotifications and WhatsApp

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.

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 ).

Google keep's reminder notification problem

Hey Guys,
I've been facing this issue for a long time now and would highly appriciate any advise here ...
I have a nexus 5x.
I am using google keep's reminders but sadly I get a very short (one second) notification on the screen if the screen is on
or a notification short sound (shorter then usual notification sounds) when the screen is off.
There is no notification lasting on top of the screen that I can scroll and see like in the past.
It seems like something is blocking it,
I gave Google keep permissions to my contact, storage and everything that is possible.
I've enabled the locked screen notification on google keep's settings
I've also reinstalled google keep and it didn't help ..
I've downloaded many reminder apps like any.do and evernote but they face the same issue as I've mentioned above.
The only way I can get a reminder is if I put a reminder in google calander's built in app
But I don't want to use it
Would appreciate any help on your part.
Thanks.

Is there something to hide apps that stay in notifications? (smartbands)

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

App Notifications

I've been using Facebook Messenger for a long time and I am sick of dismissing its own notifications on the notification panel. This is because when you open a chat head and you actually see and read the message the notification is not getting automatically dismissed!
So here is my question:
Is there any application or any possible way I could remove its notifications but only in the notification panel? I would like to keep receiving them on the lock screen...
Any help is appreciated!
