Hi,
We all know what Heads Up Notifications are. For those who doesn't, its a notification banner for high priority apps in Android 5.0.
I just observed this while I was enjoying Lollipop on my Nexus 4. I wanted Heads Up style notification for IM apps, since Google removed notification ticker in the latest android build. So I downloaded Heads Up by Artem Chepurnoy (Sorry could not link you in coz I'm a new member). After I installed and setup it, I tried 'Send test notification' and idk how the actual Lollipop Heads Up showed up. [See attachment] You can see in the screenshot the actual Lollipop Heads Up banner is at the top and the Heads Up by Artem Chepurnoy banner is below it. I am not sure how did this happen, but this means the Heads Up exists for other apps also and it needs to be enabled. I have read that, this feature relies on the priority of the application notifications, but still no luck in enabling Heads Up for other apps. If any dev can help?
Thanks.
Go to settings -> sounds¬ification -> app notifications and check if you had your IM app blocked.
To be honest this is the most annoying feature in lollipop. You cant disable the built in heads up. You can only shut off the notification completely. That means if you use third party heads up apps it will give the issues you've encountered already.
With HeadsOff lollipop heads-up notifications can now be disabled!
No root needed.
You can also restore the ticker text in the statusbar!
Give it a try:
Download from Playstore

I am on lollipop (SM900). As everybody should be by now!
If I block notifications from Application Notifications I do not see any notification at all. I just want to have it in status bar and not that stupid headsup popping up always. I tried interruptions but not working. Can anybody help?
Hi guys,
I need your help. I can't seem to keep notification toggles on the P8Lite, I literally have to activate apps such as "cool symbols" as they just won't stick to the notifications.
I've installed and activated the likes of notification toggle and power toggles" all of which are there for as long the screen stays on. I do have a feeling its a permissions issue and don't know how to ensure that these are kept on the notification panel.
Please assist, are they any working alternatives while we're at it?
Thanks a bunch.
Hi, i've using oficial Oreo for a day now, and i have the same problem that in the previews, the annoying heads up notifications. I can't find the way to disable them in the settings, i did it through adb comands and use the floatify app but it have a problem with de notification bar, it overlap and it's annoying as well, i tried some other similar apps but they aren't optimiced for Oreo, do anyone of you know how to add a few seconds to the stock heads up? or an app that doesn't have so many problems, or i just have to wait a while?
in android 7 there was level notification and it was very useful but i didn't find it now in android Oreo !!

When you say "heads up notification", are you referring to peeking where there's a short pop up message over the status bar? For example, every time I get a message on Facebook Messenger, there's peeking. If so, that frustrated me as well and I loved it when I could turn if off with Nougat's Power Notifications controls.
I finally found a way to disable peeking; I had to turn off sound by going to Facebook Messenger's App Info - App Notification - disable [Allow Sound]. I already use Lightflow to customize sounds/vibrations from my Nougat days. Once I disabled [Allow Sound], peeking stopped but I could still hear sound/vibration through my customization in Lightflow.
Problem solved for me.
Feel disgusting to heads up notification too.
try "Gaming Do Not Disturb"
I open it all the time to ban heads up notification
Here is how to set notification on oreo. go to setting > app And notification > then select your app for which you want to turn off or reduce importance of notification. If you select preference urgent / high / medium and low. then low means no sound no visual notification and urgent mean sound and popup.
Apps like telegram: it doesn't work properly, I have to do this for each conversation and group and that's annoying. any other tips? and the thing is it does revert back to urgent after few notifications

You can use the inapp notifications settings, it helped me
Does anyone know how to disable the Automatic Notification Prioritizer on the stock 10.3.1? Its a pita to have to wait for a notification and long press to change it to "Important" from "Other" for every notification type i might receive. I want to receive all of my notification icons in my bar, not the just tiny few google deems worthy.
You find more granular notification controls in Settings->Apps & Notifications.

That was my first place to check. Nothing in there for disabling this that I could find.
