Is the location switch in the drop done menu on /
if yes, then turn it off and the issue should stop.
If no, then you need to find which app is asking for a location fix. It could be weather app.

Definitely want to keep location settings on. Curious how I could tell what app is prompting the notification though.

what apps do you have that rely on location ?
try disabling one by one till the notification does not appear.

Do you have a partner as I use this to see where my wife is using the android built in app, and when I do this comes up on her phone, so maybe someone is checking up on you?

Notification pull down

I have a weird problem which I am sure others are having also. I have a persistent weather notification in my pull down menu which is always there. The issue is, on the N4, when I receive a text notification it is above the weather notification that is essentially permanent. I would prefer this be below it. See attachment to view what I'm talking about.
So the question is, is there a workaround or fix for this? None of my previous phones had this problem. Thanks
I'm on 4.2.2 btw.

Mine doesn't do that but I use stock texting and use 1weather so maybe its something in Handcent, like a setting to always keep notifications on top or maybe my 1weather app is keep itself on top.
Yeah what's weird is I am using the same apps configured the exact same way as I did on my just replaced GS2. I can't find anything in handcent that changes the order of notification, nor can I in my weather app. I think what I will do is just send a support email to handcent and see what they think. Obviously something in the OS is different. Thanks
Could be something to do with Google Now. Check the settings

I've only had it 2 weeks and it's been like this since I set it up. I'd prefer to not wipe it as I don't think that will resolve it. I fired off an email to handcent, I'll update when I hear back.
What app is the notification from?
Notifications have some sort of priority thing, so Handcents is probably higher than that weather app.
Check both apps for this setting, or email the developer?

Yeah what's weird is I have used both of these apps for a long time on 2 different phones and have never had this issue. The weatherbug is a persistent/always there notification and should have priority to be at the top. There is nothing I can change in either app to change this. I have an email in to handcent to see if they know what the deal is. Never had this issue on my Nexus S or T989 GS2.

[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:

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

Do you have GPS Status & Toolbox installed? If so, disable the notification icon from the app's settings.

Go to settings>location access and disable wifi/network location.
It won't go away, its E911, you can't turn it off. Used a mod to lose it.

Got a link to the mod?
This is annoying. It just came out of nowhere. Thanks for the responses guys.
This gets rid of the E911 icon and the 4G icon if connected to Wi-Fi

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
Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk
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.

Severe Weather Notifications

I'm on a TMO S8 running 950U CRE2. I've noticed that I no longer get severe weather alerts. It happens in both 1Weather and WeatherBug. When I open the app the notification will appear but not until I open the app. Any ideas? Since it's happening in two different apps it's not app related. All other notifications seem to work.

Sounds like something is off with your location settings. Do those apps have permission to access your location?

I thought the same thing as initially I did not but set the location manually. I since have changed it to enable the app to use location info. But it didn't help. I'm wondering if it's a global location issue.

Figured it out. I had to include WeatherBug to the do not monitor list for power management.
