The symptom is, each time I switch on my tablet, I receive a notification in lower right corner promoting something like lucky draw, game, etc. If I click on the notification, it automatically starts downloading apk. The apk is always named like yyyymmddxxxxxxxxxxx.apk. I never run those apks, I guess they are not friendly. How can I check which app I installed is doing this?

First check what you have installed recently. Could be one of those apps give spam notifications. I saw something similar on my bro-in-law phone and that was because he installed some kind of "enhancement" program to make his phone run more efficient (it didn't help bytheway).
Also, since you didn't say what OS you're running, 4.0+ has the option to disable notifications when you go to settings>applications>app name. If you find its an app you need, then that might help.
If you thinks its beyond this, then install lookout or norton from the market.
It's not malware, they're called push notification ads. Just download "Ad Blocker" (root required) from the market and it will tell you which app(s) is doing this. You can also choose to delete it from within the app.
Pretty handy.

yes it just push notification ad. The problem is I don't know which app is doing this, and do not want to root my device. Is there another way to identify ?

Can you upload a screenshot of this notification ad for us? Maybe even a list of your downloaded apps?

I don't have it now, I will load it when I get it next time.
However I have the list of apps I installed because I sent it to the author of push detector. How can I send it to you? I just don't want to post it here.
I have another finding, which seems odd to me: I set the home page of chrome to be blank, and I double checked that, but each time I open the browser it always opens a search page with a lot of informations (looks like a portal but I don't like it). How can I know which app replaces my home page with such rubish?
Is it possible the 3G provider does this kind of things? (notification ads and home replacement)?

No, your network provider would have nothing to do with push notification ads or homepage replacement. And as for setting your homepage in Google chrome, are you talking about the desktop version? Because I don't believe you can make that selection on the mobile version, unless I'm missing something?
BTW, you can send that list to me in a PM if you'd like.

Try this app, it will tell you every app that has a shady ad network and you can delete it. A friend of mine had an app that was creating a ton of shortcuts all over her home screens.

In Chrome settings you can set your home page. But it seems it's the 3G provider that replaces the home page for me.
I will send you the app list. Thanks.

I tried it but it also couldnt find the notification ad. It did find apps that have bi-app ads but they are numerous.

Rocket Dock.: http://rocketdock.com/
Edit: It's not on Metro UI per se, it's on desktop. Don't know what to tell you if you're looking for one for the start screen.

Ok thanks anyway. Nevermind, in fact i start to stay more and more on the standard desktop...

I hope that, as time goes on, we see alot more programs which let us do customization like what yyou're looking for. I would still check out Rocket Dock though, I find it quite handy.

Hello,
I'm working on a app that can activate the devices camera using root that way there is no preview of the camera and no other apps open. Does anyone know a command to take a picture using runtime.exec and saving it to the root of the sdcard?
thanks,
nathan

Why don't you use the normal API?
I do not think that there is a command for the camera.

Can't you do it in a service? (You need the proper permission in the manifest.)
For sure you cannot do it as root from the terminal.
Erm, is it possible to monitor the notifications, for example:
A notifications is created from Facebook saying someone likes your photo,
then the "monitoring app" will get it and trigger an event, such as an alarm.

I mean that I want to retrieve the notifications data such as the title, content, at the time it's created, will it be possible?

If i'm not mistaken, this ability is not yet available and may soon become available with the release of version 4.3 of the android SDK.

You can detect new notification by using the Accessibility service. Try to search the keyword "AccessibilityEvent.TYPE_NOTIFICATION_STATE_CHANGED" and you should be able to find many discussions.
To read the title of notifications, use event.getText() when detecting an accessibilityEvent.
To read the content of the notifications, try to detect the situation where notification bar is pulled down (window's view changed event), then the event.getText() will give you the content of all notifications.

According to this page, the new API now allows access to notifications.

You can turn on usb debugging but the main problem lies within Usb configuration, while you can change it to anything apart from charging and it even even show you that it's MTP of you choose it but if you go back and forth you'll see that it's still on charging. So technically it might be possible install custom rom but this will still be an issue and I am not able find anything solution , ones I checked already had root or adb access

Hmm, so it’s basically a waste now. Should throw it in the garbage and buy another generic 3GB RAM android box. Is it?
Anyways, is it happening with Airtel Xtream as well?

Yes... There is an app named "overlay shortcut" easily available. It can disable tata play binge app notifications, so u can use tata play binge box without recharge.

I purchased tata play box only because it allowed opening apps without recharge
now feels like wasted rs 2500

ok so just a few minutes ago, I found the place where the adb mode is present,
1. Go to Settings (box settings not android settings)
2. Go to System Settings
3. There press 0->3->select
4. ADB mode is now found there
(But it can't be enabled, it says 'we can't enable adb mode on this set top box)
