Hello, is this a bug on the new Android 11. My Verizon Galaxy doesn't show the top notification bar on the home screen anymore. In apps, it shows. For example, right now in the Chrome app I can see the time, my icons, battery. Not when I close the app and I'm sitting on the home screen.
Is this a bug? I read something on a Google Pixel thread on reddit that it's a feature of Android 11, but I want to confirm that. I can't recall this happening all week (or two) since I've gotten Android 11.
Is it possible that you are using a 3rd party launcher and have activated that feature?
I use Nova and I have it to hide status bar.

I am running my application on a Viewsonic G Tablet. The application is marked to run full screen in the manifest, and it does so. However the notification bar is still displayed and overlayed on my view (this is not the standard Android behavior). Unfortunately, if I have any controls that are underneath the controls on the notification bar, the user is not able to access them. How do I turn the bar off. I notice that some apps (e.g. Angry Birds) display full screen without the bar.
Thanks.
I've been able to do it using the Zeam Launcher. Under action bindings set double tap to toggle the fullscreen.
Pretty much every non-stock browser has the option to hide the status bar. I recommend VTL launcher for tablets and zeam for phones.

I guess I am a little confused. You both talk about launchers, but I am not sure what you are referring to. Is this something the user can do to remove the status bar by using a particular launcher? If so, that is not what I am asking. I am the developer of the app in question, and I want to set it up so that it automatically runs full screen without a status bar. This seems to be possible, because there are apps which do that (e.g. Angry Birds).
Thanks
Ah, I see. Maybe another app developer could chime in because this is way above my knowledge.

Are you by chance running CM7 or Vegan Ginger?
These have an option (part of the Mad-Murdock Tablet Tweaks) to override the 'full screen' request by apps and keep the status bar available. This is due to some tablets not having hardware buttons (and on the G-tab, they are hard to see in the dark, etc).
If this is the case, you will not be able to over-ride that. It's specifically a user-option.
If you are not on one of those ROMs, then I can't help
I'm talking with an app developer about adding the feature of hiding the Notification Bar while in his app. Specifically, to allow it to display only when the center of the tablet is pressed a la the Gallery app. He told me that this was not possible because Google disallows it, but I swear I've seen it done in other apps. Go Launcher and Cyanogenmod both include a similar option to show/hide the NB by swiping up/down thus extending the range of the desktop to the whole screen. It must be possible then, right? Does it just require root access?
Edit: I've also seen the Cyanogenmod team add the same swipe-hide feature to the stock browser.
I recently switched over from iOS and loving the android so far but there are a couple of issues I'm having trouble with.
I was wondering how can I go about adding a quick scroll to top of the page feature/gesture with 4.3? iOS was just a simple tap to the top of the page.
I do miss my notification center, my notifications are coming at the top of the screen and then I have to slide down to open them. Is there any app that would show the notifications in iOS like format? I would like to be able to swipe directly into the app without hitting the slide down menu.
What program is recommended to use for controlling music? I'm using a S4 device.
Thanks in advance!
Alright. This is an issue I have only had on custom roms, but never on a fully stock rom. I have the verizon V10, vs990. If I go into a fullscreen app such as a game or an app that hides the nav bar and status bar, I can drag from the right to show the nav bar, but none of the buttons work at all. This all happened after I accepted the 23A update (android 6.0.1) that I got just last week. The only way I can get out of full screen apps is to either drag the status bar down and go into settings, then go to my home screen, or open a fb messenger chat head IF I have one there, and hit the home button when that is open. I will note that having a chat head there or not does not change this situation. The nav bar is simply broken in full screen apps.
To anyone who has this issue, I have figured it out by accident. I had a battery bar application running. Android treats this as an overlay. It must have messed something up with the nav bar in full screen apps. I got rid of the nav bar, and everything works fine.
I just installed the Android O beta 4 OTA update onto my Google Pixel. This Android version has a persistent tray notification for background running apps - in my case it's the Network Mini Monitor Pro app, which I *want* to have running in the background, and so I'd like to disable the background running notification for this app, but I haven't found any way to do it. Can it be done, so that I don't have this unwanted notification sitting in the tray all the time.
Would like to know that as well, for me it's WhatsApp.
Well I've found I can get rid of the system tray icon, though the notification is still there when you pull down. But I'm reasonably happy that the icon isn't there all the time. To get rid of it:
Pull down and long press on the "Apps running in the background" notification
Tap on "All Categories"
Scroll down to "Apps running in background" and tap to the left of the vertical bar
Tap on "Importance" and change it to "Low"
The system tray icon should now be gone.
