I have a permanent notification:
"Tune In Radio Pro Is Running".
How do I get rid of this, without affecting the functionality of the app? (I want it to show a notification when I am listening to something).
Is this possible?

Did you look for the app in system>apps and disable notifications?
I have this same issue. I clear notifications but they come back. I deselect show notifications in system settings and get the same notification later. The only way to stop it is to turn it off in the app settings if there is one.

Ah. I have 2 apps that run in background that do NOT show these persistent notifications... They both happen to implement a user setting for notification priority (which I have set to lowest/no icon). Co-incidence? Maybe we need some app changes...
You can find the answer here:
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/05/17/light-flow-update-teases-new-version-of-android-may-require-persistent-notifications-for-some-tasks/
Crappy news none the less.
Apps were always supposed to show that notification when running in the foreground since they can have a huge impact on device performance and battery life.

A foreground service is a service that's considered to be something the user is actively aware of and thus not a candidate for the system to kill when low on memory. A foreground service must provide a notification for the status bar, which is placed under the "Ongoing" heading, which means that the notification cannot be dismissed unless the service is either stopped or removed from the foreground.
That's the problem I think. What we consider as background apps are now behaving like foreground apps. As said previously it's an app problem. Had one fixed already

I posted this in that Google+ thread, but would be interested in what folk here think:
---
So what's the proper way to do this now (stop apps you want from being killed yet never show a notification)? Is it possible?
There are several utility/monitor type apps that the user would want never killed. But to have a persistent notification gets in the way of 'normal' notifications (aesthetically) and makes the status bar and notification shade look very busy. Would it not be better to allow the user to set that persistent notifications don't show for selected apps of their choosing?

You may be able to still raise the background threads priority with android.os.Process.setThreadPriority(), but I haven't tried it from a service yet. Even without it you should still be okay though unless the system needs to free up some memory.
You can also tell the system your service needs to be restarted asap with START_STICKY or START_REDELIVER_INTENT.

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.

Totally lame. I have an app that silently runs in the background all the time and I know this. I don't need Android reminding me of this every time I swipe my notifications menu down.

Open Tunein, go to settings, scroll to bottom, and disable receive push notifications. This removes the persistent notification.
Edit:
Comes back after a reboot.

If you do the research you will see that the current super users are using a temporary work around to get it working as SUID is now blocked. You can even read the debate about it on may of the expert developers Google plus pages. Root is bearly working completely while we wait for a perm fix to be found.

Hi Guys,
I keep getting the following message on the screen:-

To Answer my own question, re-installing it did not help. Errors came back instantly.
Update available
Sorry for any inconvenience. We had an issue with Android 4.3. It is fixed in Sophos Mobile Security 3.0, now available on Google Play. Mobile Security 3.0 includes web protection and app locker as new features and has an improved scan speed.
The new features are available for free as the current app.

Hi,
My phone which was just sat by me doing nothing in particular (just a Facebook notification) and I see an icon I'd not seen before. I tapped on it and I am being prompted to accept a privacy policy for the "Samsung Denial Log Reporting Service"...
Err WTF is this and should I be accepting it. I'm particularly concerned as I'm on MH8 which I'm not keen on, FW status I got back to official, although of course the boot loader is still locked and gives the Knox warranty error messages if I try and downgrade.
Any ideas? A Google and forum search hasn't turned up anything which is odd, can't believe I'm the first to see this.
I'd also like to know the answer as it popped up on mine last week
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Samsung Ireland, in their facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/SamsungIreland) has been asked about the "Samsung Denial Log Reporting Service" and them said "This is genuine. It's for Samsung Knox - a new security system we are releasing for S4 and future products. You can find out more here: http://www.samsung.com/global/business/mobile/solution/security/samsung-knox"
I still need to understand what it is.
I'm not sure if I want to accept or decline...
---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 PM ----------
after more google search, I found a document
https://cdn.samsungknox.com/system/files/whitepaper/files/Samsung_KNOX_Glossary.pdf
and in this document, at page 7, there is written
Denial Log:
- Captures SE for Android denials in Enforcement mode on the device and uploads
them to a Samsung Server.
- These denial logs are stored on the device at:
/data/misc/audit/audit.log and audit.old).
Naturally I don't want my S4 to upload anything, anywhere.
Some news on this.
Hi.
I've just had the same message. What I found ...
Samsung Ireland Facebook : "Hi Alan, This is genuine. It's for Samsung Knox - a new security system we are releasing for S4 and future products. You can find out more here: (samsung's website) /global/business/mobile/solution/security/samsung-knox 12 September at 11:18
Me
OK. So they are releasing an enterprise level security app. Fine with that. As I my phone isn't a company phone, but a personal one, what benefit will I gain? And, therefore, do I need to install it? If so why? From samsung's website (I can't post URLs yet, so add the domain dot com manually) /global/microsite/galaxys4/lifetask.html#page=knox ... "While S4 includes the features of Samsung KNOX, the solution is activated by the IT administrators of your company. Please also note the service availability may vary by the market your company operates."
So, for a personal user, this is a pointless app. It gets installed, but never activated as I'm not using a company phone.

I am pretty sure I am not able to root my At&t GN3 MJ5 because KNOX is force closing the app which Kingo uploads to root.
Whenever I try ot use Kingo, I cause the "prevention information" error which tells me "an app has been force closed due to an attempt at accessing system on your device".
I have done it so many times that now after a reboot, I see the "denial log" service asking for permission to upload the denial logs.
based on info in this thread, its clear that samsung wants to know what app it is force closing (what app is trying to get root access) so that they can design future security updates to prevent us from rooting.
Really ****ty if you ask me. DO NOT allow the denial logs! **** you samsung .. I thought you were a good company but now you are just making things difficult for us. You sold me a car with a hood welded shut. (Samsung chat admits there is no way to disable KNOX security on GN3).
I wont be a samsung customer for long..
---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------
Update to my last post,
I spoke with Samsung again. This time I said I'm a dev and I understand root would void my warranty but I need to do it. First they tried to help me Force close the KNOX related apps, which I did (Klingo still didnt work and the same "prevention information" notice appears each time I try), then they gave me the number to KNOX so I can ask them.
I encourage everyone to call and voice your opinion that you don't like KNOX force closing apps that it deems are a security risk, without letting us disable that "Safety" feature. Its really not for safety after all, its to make modifying our own phones more difficult.

Hey everyone! Quick question, I've read many times that "Package Disabler Pro" is the best app to disable all the bloatware.
But I have also read that if you disable all of them or use the "Disable all Bloatware" selection in the app, it causes issues with other apps and services such as samsung say and amongst others.
Can anyone help on this issue? Or is there a solution out there... saying which to disable and which not to?
Any help would be awesome! Thanks!
This is too complex question and next, some packages depends on another. E.g. you can disable ANT+ but you need it if you have a sport watch.
Generally, do not dollow colors in the application. I've found some ping packages which could be important (ANT+).
It depends on your needs/using habits, but there is some that can be disable almost always, yet still there is cases where you may need it.
Few examples:
- you can disable email application and its services since you can (and probably should unless something very specific) use Gmail instead of it (you can set up non-gmail account in Gmail app), so feel free to disable this.
-Google play movies/music/newstand/books - if you dont use these disable them.
-Galaxy apps and its services - i dont see point for this app, only uses are - for getting offers (so claim them before disabling) and galaxy care... any apps you can get on play store, so egt the offers from Galaxy apps and turn it ands its services off.
-Gear VR services - if you dont have Gear VR headset then there is no use for these services and if you get Gear VR afterwards you can just enable those services, its fast and easy.
-SHealth and its service - dont use it? feel free to disable it.
- i dont use Samsung account and its backup options (since you have same functions from google) so if you dont also, feel free to disable it and its related services.
and there is A LOT more, and it all depends on what you want/will use! BUT remember, its very simple and fast to enable them even if you disabled them, with no harm done.
Carefully Checked Before Disabling, but Galaxy S7 Keeps Rebooting
I have carefully checked everything I disabled before doing it, but now my Galaxy S7 keeps rebooting, although not always with the same results. The fact that there's no information about numerous items preloaded on this phone is totally unhelpful!
How does this app work, since it doesn't require root? And is there any chance it will trip the Knox counter on an unrooted phone? I'm very interested in it, but I don't want to lose my tap and pay or my warranty (yet).
I have posted here my extensive list of disabled packages, with no ill effects that I know of:

Yeah, I see on my Sony Xperia phone that has a custom ROM that there's an option on lockscreen and security that allows you to choose how long does it take for the phone to lock, not sleep but lock, in seconds, like "5 seconds after screen turns off" or "immediately after screen turns off" etc.....on my S7 it just takes forever and I can't find a similar option, sometimes I turn off the screen and after a few minutes I turn it on and it still has locked, sometimes it does it immediately, could there be a workaround ?
