[Q] What are those mysterious notifications?

From time to time my N4 alerts me with a sound, but when I check the navigation bar, I don't see anything in the list. When I look into the notification list through the notifications widget, I fail to find anything there either. This happens even when the phone is in sleep mode with WIFI off. What are those mysterious notifications?

Try using the Settings shortcut widget, select notifications and now you have a notification area.
I am not sure if it just works if a notification appears in the notification bar but it is worth a try.

Thanks for the suggestion! That's exactly what I checked before as I mentioned in my original post:

Any other suggestions?

You can try going into applications checking if they use notification sounds which you do not need.

[Q] how to block notification from certain apps

Hi,
i'm having a nexus 4 with android 4.3 stock rom, rooted and installed xposed framework. is there any way or app to block certain apps from displaying notification. Apps like BBM, Twilight have an always persisting notification which i can't dismiss. Even after going to App Info and unchecking the Show Notification option these notifications come up again.
TIA,
Vignesh

Download Gravity Box from within Xposed framework(Under Downloads). After you've downloaded the module, go under "Statusbar Tweaks ", when you scroll down you'll see "ongoing notification blocker. " You'll be able to pick and choose which notifications are displayed. You have to reboot in order for the changes to take effect.

Thanks. That worked like a charm.

Go to Settings>Apps
Then look for the app and click on it, below the name you will see a checkbox "show notifications". Unckek-it.

This works like the iPhone notification configuration system?

[Q] How to prevent screen on with SMS?

Is there any way to prevent the screen from turning on when I receive a text message? Thank you!

Download Textra. In the app settings you get that option.

Default app
Thanks. I was hoping to stick with the default app, as I really like what Samsung had done with the pop-up notification.

Maybe the Lightflow app have settings for this and can override the default settings. Originally Lightflow lets you change light on the LED notification, but I have seen other settings in that app too. Worth a try.

Textra also has a pop-up notification. Not sure how it compares to Samsung's though

Android Lollipop App Based Notification in Lock Screen

Hi, I am not sure whether there is a solution to this question so far, but as far as I tried to google it, I cannot find a work around.
I have updated to Lollipop 5.0 recently and the notifications in lock screen are impressive. However, I have some persistent app such as Apex Launcher, Profile Scheduler+ that will always run in the background. Some apps have an option to hide lock screen notification but not many have this options (at least those app that i used do not have).
One of the most annoying situation is during my running at night, where I have:-
1. Location Set by GPS (System UI)
2. Notification Status by GPS Status
3. Notification Status by Runtastic
4. Internet Speed Meter Lite (This app has a function to hide itself in lock screen, but sometimes it doesn't work....)
5. Profile Scheduler+ (persistent app)
6. Plus some whatsapp notification...
where i only want to have 1, 3, 6 in the lock screen.....
Is there any "app based notification chooser" in the field? That you can select what app can display notification in the lock screen.
Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for a solution to same issue on my Moto G 1st Gen (Lollipop 5.1)

I think the pro version has ability to do what your looking for

Hmm, I gotta try this My Android Tools app then, cause since moving to Lollipop this issue has made me crazy! However I mind how the clock and date font becomes small (tiny in fact) when there are other notifications in lock screen more than the number of notifications on LS. Even if those notifications had to be persistent there was absolutely no meaning for the clock and date fonts to go small!

Thanks for your help. It seems we need to wait android or Samsung to provide us this option. I will look into 3rd party lockscreen

You can block an app's notifications altogether in settings.
It would be fairly simple to make an app or script that would enable/disable that, on a timer or something.
To remove certain notifications from just the lock screen, though, would either require modding the desired apps individually, or some rather significant mods to SystemUI.

Remove individual notifications from Lockscreen (stock)?

So, AICP (custom ROM) has an option to let you disable individual apps from putting notifications on the lockscreen.
But stock ROM doesn't get this granular. You can remove all notifications or none.
Anyone know of an Xposed mod or something else to help with this?
I have two apps that I want to see in my pull-down but do NOT want to see on my lockscreen.

If I get you right - there is an option to block certain apps from showing notification in the Moto app

The Moto app only affects moto display. Not lockscreen. Notification manager for xposed works (currently not available for marshmallow). You can control all sorts of notification settings.

I'm not rooted, but if it has an app manager like stock (and in recent memory, Touchwiz) can you uncheck the "Show Notifications" checkbox? Sorry if that doesn't help :/

The problem with that is it removes notifications completely for the app. In Stock, it's all or nothing unless the app itself has some priority settings (which are few and far between). The only way that I've been able to find is by root and that xposed app.
