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!

Hey guys. Is there a way to completely disable heads-up notification that pops up on android lolllipop?
I know some apps can disable it (whatsapp plus could =[ ... )
Some custom ROMS, such as Resurrection Remix implemented a swich to completely disable the popups and show notifications just like android 4.4.4 and below.
Is there a way to disable them? Could be with root.
PLEASE!
I hate it! it shows on games, and even on CAMERA!
(i know about "priority mode", but it is not the same,.... i want to still get notified, without loosing part of the screen)
Hey Yuri, I'm with you. I'm also looking for a way to disable heads-up. Whatsapp's are the most annoying.
actually.

Is it possible to disable the heads-up notifications while in fullscreen mode? I think it is very annoying when I watch a video (for example) and someone texts me at the same time so that the notification is popping up and the media volume is lowering a little.
Still no fix for this? I know, there is an app called HeadsOff but it only lets you enable or disable Heads On notifications for specific apps. But I want them to be disabled everytime I am in landscape fullscreen mode. Any idea? I even have root, so there MUST be a fix!?
I posted this over in the walleye forum and figured that taimen users might benefit from it too.
Have you noticed that if you disable Heads Up with
Code:
settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0
that Ambient Notifications are disabled too?
This Tasker Profile disables heads up while screen is on, but enables heads up (Ambient Notifications) when screen is off.
Required:
Tasker
Root
Instructions:
Import the Tasker profile and enable it.
Help me understand. Why do some people not want heads-up notifications?

LOL These are the type of useless replies that people talk about. Why not just explain it so people can think about and consider something that they may not have yet?

Sorry for replying. It really is self explanatory. You would want to disable Heads Up if you don't like Heads Up.
If you can't decide if you like or dislike Heads Up then please continue reading.
You might want to disable Heads Up if...
you find it generally annoying
a notification in the status bar is good enough
it constantly interrupts you when you're trying to concentrate on something important
you're pissed off that Google took away our ability to control which apps can peek or not peek and with the introduction of notification channels in Oreo
you were able to come up with your own reason why you don't like Heads Up
I hope this helps

just to give an example;
I was showing my daughter's first grade teacher pictures of our outings during the weekend. As she's looking, my navy buddy is texting me something crazy and his messages are popping up on the screen.
At that moment, i said F heads up...

I use Textra and it has an option to hide the sender and/or message text in notifications included heads-up. Pretty nice.

Yeah, Google's decision to take Notification Control out of System UI Tuner in favor of Oreo Notification Channels is bad. It puts it on the app developers to add notification channels to disable heads up (peeking) for every app. Google hasn't even added it to hangouts yeah. Ugh
On nougat I'd disable heads-up for all but Phone and Google Messaging, but on oreo I just disable all
I find that just having a smart watch negates the need for most notifications on the phone. I gave up on trying to get the LED light all customized, distinct sounds etc, when just a quick glance at the watch when it vibrates gives me more than enough info about what's going on...
Sent from my [device_name] using XDA-Developers Legacy app
Thanks for this. Was bugging me bad
I dont think u even need Tasker app to disable Headsup/Peeking
just run the below command on ADB and headsup is gone for good with Ambient display working
adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0

Did you read the OP or the title of this thread? Yes you can disable heads up with that shell command or a custom QS tile that sends the same command behind the scenes.
But the side affect of turning off heads up is that ambient notifications are suppressed too. This Tasker profile uses screen on/off state to disable heads up while screen is on, but allow ambient notifications when screen is off. Get it?
You probably see Ambient display on and think it's working but send yourself a text or a hangout and or whatever and notice that when you've disabled heads up it blocks the Ambient Notification from popping up while screen is off.

Oh yes.. sorry I didnt realize that notifications are not popping up on Ambient display...
Will try ur profile on tasker now..
For the text message example someone gave, you could change the notification priority from Urgent to High to stop heads up notifications for that so someone doesn't see a message if you are showing them something on your phone like a picture.

I just did it on my Pixel 2 XL on 8.1 DP2. You do it under the notification category.

Exactly most apps don't have that go check out Hangouts for example you can't block peek in Hangouts.
Nougat SytemUI Tuner let us turn on Notification Control so we could set the slider to not allow Peek (Heads Up) at the system settings level for each app. But Oreo took that away. Now the Peek (Headsup) is controlled by Notification Channels which most app developers haven't included yet.
Oh ok gotcha.

Thanks, this works perfectly!
I was wondering how you managed to find this command:
su settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 1
I was thinking of making a tasker profile where always on display is turned on only when notification are received for certain apps like Gmail, Messenger, Messages, WhatsApp. I have a notification listener tasker profile that counts notifications from those apps and it would really be awesome to incorporate this. Does anyone know where I might be able to find the shell scripts to turn on always on display?
I have many persistent notifications where the app won't work if it's hidden - E.g. Adguard, Lastpass, Whatsapp and more.
Is there any other way to hide them but still have a full functioning app in background? Using P30 Pro currently.

You mean hiding the notification using notification controls make the app stop working ? I used to hide the spotify player from appearing in my notification shade, but the music kept playing. Maybe let them open in your recent apps menu. Also check in the "Battery optimisation settings. Usually apps stops working because it's stopped by battery optimization.
nope, battery optimization is disabled but if it's not kept running in the background USING persistent notifications, the app will be killed.
anyone knows how to hide all these pesky notifications?
