I got a notification that 7 apps had updates (on notification bar). I clicked on it and it just listed the apps. I checked the Play store and Amazon, and neither had apps to be updated. Where is this notification coming from?
Is the notification repeating? Not sure myself but you should put what ROM you are using and maybe ask in the thread that is relevant to your ROM , you may have a better response there
This happens on my N7 as well now and again, once you highlight the app in question the update icon goes so it's not a big deal.

Does this phone/Android in general offer push notifications?
I currently own an iPhone3GS (just got my PAC ,will be ordering Galaxy tomorrow)
I love Gooool 2009, keeps me up to date with scores in the football.I dont have to open an app to check the scores,it informs me as the goals go in.Is there something similar for Android?
And things like Facebook? Will I be informed if someone sends me an IM ala IM+ on iPhone?
I don't know about push notifications really, but your apps can stay connected to the internet in the background so 'live notifications' shouldn't be a problem.
The notification on android works differently (and, coming from an ipod touch, I'd say better). Your notifications will pop-up in the top bar, where your cellullar signal aswell as battery level and other things are displayed (at the moment they appear for the first time the notification bar will show text, like "New updates for program X" or "IM contact A says 'hey there, how are you doing?'", and then it will revert to the normal notification bar with icons for every missed notification). You don't have to click on them nor will they stop you from doing anything else. If you want to go to the app or the specific update/im chat, you just have to slide down the notification bar, and click on the notification. If you want to clear the notification bar, just slide it down and click clear.
edit: here's an example of the pulled-down notification bar on another android phone: http://thecellularguru. com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/android-g1-50.jpg (correct the link, I can't post links yet)
Is it possibile to clear the new persistent notification of running app in the notification bar?
I mean, there are apps that are supposed to be running as a background service, can I put trusted app in a white list so I don't see them in the notification bar anymore?
I have tried to uncheck the option in the setting page (as shown in the screenshot attached), but the notification will appear again.
This is so annoying, any workaround?

I had the same problem with ADW launcher EX, I got it off by entering the settings menu of the app, not the settings of the phone. Look for it.

Have Persistent Notifications After You Upgrade To Android 4.3
Posted by Bertel King, Jr. in News
Anyone who has made the jump to Android 4.3, which admittedly isn't that many people right now, may have noticed that some applications now plant persistent notifications in the status bar. We offered this as a disclaimer in our post about manually updating a Nexus 4 to Android 4.3. Turns out, this is completely intentional. Android now forces persistent notifications on unkillable apps that run silently in the background. This is an attempt to call attention to behavior that isn't quite okay.
Notifications3
Many developers have made their applications impossible to kill and don't alert users to the fact that they're still running. They do this by creating a malformed notification object that doesn't appear in the status bar but still tricks the activity manager into allowing the service to enter the foreground. This is great for snooping, but that doesn't mean that only malicious apps adopt this behavior. As Artem's screenshots show below, the Network Monitor Mini Pro was one offender, but the developer has since updated the app to fix the problem.
Notifications1 Notifications2
While Android developers originally wanted to force quit apps that submit malformed notifications, there are simply too many out there for this to be a usable approach. Instead, Android will alert users to the offending apps, and developers will probably be inclined to change their software once users stop using their products and/or bring public shaming down on their heads. Hopefully the bulk of them will have been fixed by the time most phones make the jump to the latest version of Jelly Bean.

Weird approach from Google. So all the fuss is from forcing app devs to remove fake invisible nottifications , they can sill run in foreground or background!?!?! And all the masochists loving this. •_•
I've read about new Google policy, but what I'd like is the possibility to put some applications in a trusted-app list that gives us to choice if clear them from the notification bar.
This new feature by Google is helpful for all the malicious-purpose applications that are running in background without our assent, but once you notified me let me also choose how to manage them.
Maybe this could be an idea for a new app development by someone in this forum.

The ability to whitelist is an excellent idea, but it would require opening new security restrictions. Considering Google's new Apple like approach, it would be surprising this would be allowed.

I'm just getting used to my new Yotaphone 2, it is living up to my expectations so far but I've got a couple of questions...
1. Can you disable yota cover? The manual mentions an option to disable it but I can't find it on the yota hub settings, the scenario is I have a lock screen with swipe pattern to unlock the device, so the yota cover is unnecessary. when mirroring, I end up removing the yota cover, then putting the unlock pattern in , the EPD is all about convenience for me and this double step to unlock is annoying.
2. The "next event" widget should be awesome but it doesn't display "all day events" from the calendar so its somewhat crippled, a true agenda widget would be better but any how my question is why the hell is an address in Moscow showing up as the location of all my calendar events when displayed on the "next event" widget on the EPD?? Any one else getting this?
3. Anyone else getting stuck notifications only on the "any other notifications" icon (the bell) if so how are you removing or resetting the counter?
Thanks for any advice you can give me

Hey dude, just spotted this thread, sorry didn't answer sooner. You may have figured the answers to your own questions out by this point but i'll reply anyway -
1. Not sure about stopping yotacover, have you tried simply removing each page (via menu > remove in yotacover) until none are shown? Haven't tried it but might work.
2. The next event widget is working fine for me, showing all day events and the address it shows is fine. Perhaps this has been fixed in an update?
3. I get stuck notifications occasionally, mostly they come from apps that leave a notification, whether invisible or not, like ad block plus. These tend to go away eventually and stop showing up after a time, maybe the phone gets used to them. Occasionally there are random notifications that I assume are left over from when there were actually things I had not dealt with or swiped away from notification drawer. These also tend to go away, and I think this has been addressed a little bit in the recent update.
Hope you got the issues sorted and if not I hope you get some use out of this.
Thanks for the input, to add my findings since my original post.....
1. I've got used to yotocover and how it works so it's not bothering me so much now, I may try your en suggestion tho and delete the set up of the yota covers to see if that stops it.
2. The next event is working as I would expect now, it shows all day events and the Moscow location has stopped showing up on my events thank goodness. I'm guessing this improvement is due to the software updates that have been coming via the play store.
3. One of the notifications I was getting was from the google now weather notification that shows up in the notification shade but not on the top bar, also avg notifications do the same. Any notification what so ever will flag the " bell" on the EPD, it would be nice if we could configure that. Or give is an android wear notification yota panel, now that would be awesome!

I have used multiple different CM12.1 ROMs and was curious if I was missing a setting or something
Basically let’s say I get an email on my gmail. The notification shows in my status bar and the LED flashes
Let’s say after about 15min and I haven’t checked my phone the notification disappears from the status bar as well as the LED notification
This is occurring with multiple apps
Is there a setting that turns off notifications like this after a certain amount of time?
I looked everywhere and can’t find anything. This caused me to not notice an important email on my phone
I always figured until the actual notification or content gets acknowledged that the notification would remain
Any help is welcomed
If you stop the app, or it gets killed somehow. The notification will go away and only come back when the app has started again. Happens to me all the time with whatsapp, because i forget and clear my recent apps.

Well in my cause a recent example is from today. I got an email at 10am but didnt turn on my screen or anything. By 10:30 the notification is gone from the notification drawer
Gmail isnt blocked or force closed by any program in my device such as green power or greenify
Hi,
I have noticed that for some reason my S7 edge will show multiple notification icons for the same app on the top status bar. One example of this is TV Show Favs, on my sony Z2 with lollipop there would only be 1 notification icon shown even if I had multiple notifications for upcoming shows. The S7 edge shows multiple icons for each notification on status bar which can lead to things getting very cluttered when Daredevil season 2 is listed for example.
Anyone have any ideas on how to make sure it combines icons?
Nobody got any ideas at all?
I have a Nexus 7 2013 that is on latest MM build & it doesn't show multiple notification icons & my Sony Z2 on LP doesn't either. There must be some way to make it combine notification icons from the same app.
Here is a screenshot to show what I mean. You can see there are 3 tv show favs icons in status bar.
I don't use that app, but I haven't seen this behavior with any app on my Edge.
Cheers for the reply, I noticed that the play store did the same & showed multiple notification icons when I did factory reset after getting nano sim but haven't seen it do it since. Will email the dev of tv show favs & see if he can fix it if it a app problem.

I've had this as well, noticed it mainly with Play store app updates, Galaxy app store updates, and Whatsapp. Might happen with other apps as well, those are the only ones I tend to get multiple notifications from. Think it may have happened on my HTC M8 running Marshmallow as well...

I'm pretty sure it's a "feature" to allow multiple instances of an apps notification to be separate and displayed simultaneously. But if I recall correctly it was also this way on my g4 running M as well as my s6e on L. Slightly annoying at times but nothing worth making me return the phone for.

Yeah it weird that it only seems to happen with some apps, the day daredevil season 2 was available on netflix the whole status bar was filled with icons.My lollipop sony Z2 doesn't do it & neither does my marshmallow nexus 7 2013. I did email the dev of Tv Show Favs a couple of days ago but not heard anything back as yet.

It's mostly just annoying as the status bar can be filled up with the icons. I wouldn't return the phone for that as it a damn good phone. I've not had a galaxy device since the S3 so thought it might just be the weird way that samsung likes to do things at times.
