android notifications and killing processes - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody
So i have some apps that require to display a notification so the process doesnt get killed.
All of them have the option to disable the notification but mention that the process may get killed when disabling the notification.
Since Android 4.1 you can disable notifications for an app through the settings in the app section.
If i activate the notifications in the apps settings but disable it in the system settings is it the same like disabling them in the apps settings?
Is there still the possibility that the process may get killed then?

I'm not sure about the Facebook notifications but I flashed the alliance rom and it has "App ops" built in which lets you restrict individual permissions an app has access to

Blocking App Notifications Will Spare My Batt?

Hi there!
I am trying to squeeze every bit of batt from my device... So, if I go to settings, sound and notifications, app notifications and block all those I donĀ“t expect any updates, will it keep them from checking?
For example, if I go to app notifications and block tapatalk... will it keep the app from checking for updates and thus not using the internet, not waking up the device etc and would that spare the battery or would that only block the "displaying" of the info, but the app would still check / wake up the device to check?
Thanks!
Disabling notifications will do exactly that, just disable the notification from appearing on your notification bar. Your phone will still be syncing data and checking for notifications, you just wont receive them.
In order to stop the phone from checking, you need to turn off sync for whichever apps you're concerned with. You can usually do this from directly within the app, or by going to settings>accounts.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That said, if the goal is to keep from spending batt, I have to go into each app and disable their sync/notification options....
Thank you Sir.
Yes, and if there is no option from that within the app, check Settings>Accounts, it should be there.
Goodluck

How to Disable Chats - Group and Message Notifications for WhatsApp

I am unable to disable Group notifications and Message notifications under Chats. This setting is under Settings > Apps & Notifications > Notifications > Whatsapp. If I disable after some time I find slider is again green and notifications show up. Is there no permanent way to disable notifications as sometimes notifications are annoying as they keep filling up on the home page. Thanks
You can disable the notifications completely under Apps & notifications -> notifications and choosing the app you wish and turning off notifications as a whole or turn it off for specific category.
Hi. Ya thats what I have done. If you read my query I have disabled group and regular notifications yet after some time it shows up under notifications and when I go to check settings they revert back to allowed (Green Dot). It says as Grey Dot only for some time. Is this an issue with all android devices or specific to this device?
you can just disable the notification entirely in the application setting.
