Some apps spam you with notification ads. Just go through any free apps you've downloaded recently and delete them.
You can also try this to figure out the problem app:

Crazy Grandpa is made by Crazy Game, and their other app is Bubble Shooter.
Bubble Defence is made by ICLOUDZONE INC, who make Death Moto, Speed Night and Pool Master.
Any of those sound familar?
I had this problem before - in my case it was a battery icon.
Here is how I figured out what it was:
I believe you need a rooted phone.
1) download and run a terminal monitor program (I use 'terminal monitor')
within terminal monitor do:
2) su (this makes you root)
3) dumpsys notification (this shows you all packages showing notifications).
Assume a package is called com.take.that.hah
you can find the program name by going to:
h
ttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.take.that.hah
Go through and start uninstalling programs till you find the correct one.

Try to long tap on that notification, there u will have a pop up with "app info", tap it and un check the notifications settings there.

Correct me if I'm wrong but can't you simply click and hold the notification until the app info box appears just under your finger. Then click the box and it'll show you the app that sent the notification within the application manager. From here you can disable notifications from this app (to keep the app) or uninstall.

You are correct but i need to elaborate:
You can't click the icon in the notification bar.
What you can click and hold is the notification bar in the notification area. i.e. when you expand the notification bar.
I see now that my case was a special case - a notification icon (a battery meter) that had no bar in the notification drop down bar.
This also happens when you run a program and it has an icon to prevent the program getting killed. (tasker does this, for example)

Is there anyway to remove the widgetsoid icon from the notification bar? Initially I had it set to be invisible, but then when I had other icons in the status bar, the blank space where the invisible icon actually was annoyed the crap out of me. So I disabled the invisibility option so at least all the icons will look uniform...but I'd still rather get rid of it completely. Or find a different widget that works in the notification bar. Anyone know if Extended Control notification widgets have been updated to work with ICS as well as Honeycomb?

I read the FAQ part of it. What I don't understand is this. "Make su; chmod755 /data/data/com.jim2/protocol on "Terminal Emulator"".
So I ran the two commands in Terminal and nothing happens nor the reboot working.

Probably a silly question but how do you get the widgetsoid in the notification bar? For me it just shows up as a bunch of widgets that I can choose.
Go into the appdrawer, scroll to widgets, choose widgetoid switcher and drag it onto your home screen. A config window will pop up where you can choose the contols you want. At the bottom of that window you need to open advanced and tick notification and widget invisible.
Wow thanks that worked great. So by default we can only do 4 of them I guess? In one screenshot the guy has 7. On my Thunderbolt with CM7 I have 6 (not widgetsoid).
It will be great once flashlight and 4g toggles work for us!

you can do as many as u want. choose the 4x1 setting but it is not relevant if adding to notify bar. just add more and they will adjust in size to fit the bar.
wow! I haven't used Widgetsoid in awhile but that is a neat feature they implemented in. I was using CM7's Power Widget and never paid attention to it.
i've been using Widgetsoid as a notification bar and wanted to know if it was possible to remove the icon up the upper left corner altogether. i know there's a way to make it invisible, but it shifts my other icons to the right which drives me crazy. is it possible to remove the icon completely?
The difference I see from CM7 is that the toggles would stay at the top. With widgetsoid the toggles will be below the notifications. However, I now can have some applications and shortcuts in there which is awesome.
This works much better on ics then gb.

Hi all,
I just wanted to show my first android app I developed. It is a bit similar as notification toggle, but I just developed it to learn java/android.
You can set 3 different settings as notification toggles (wifi,screen rotation, bluetooth), seems unnecessary for cm9/7
You can set any app as a shortcut
always-on-top accessibility service
notification panel folds when shortcut is selected
Please tell me want you think of it, i only tested it on cm10.

Nice app bro. It works well on Team NYX RC5. Tested with Wifi and Bluetooth. If you implement GPS toggle, Flashlight and Sound toggle, it will be a very good app.

Nice work mate! I've been looking for this since I had JKay on a Samsung ROM, but I would never go back to Samsung from CM9
Is there any way to hide the blank notification icon in the status bar? I assume this is inherent to the way the shortcuts are loaded as a notification.
Also, how's it going with the auto-close drawer update?
Great

that's finished already, but need to make some more changes, for making it more memory efficient.
But i thought nobody was really interested
it is not possible to hide it, i might change it to a logo. It is also not possible to make 2g/3g or GPS switch due to android policy (even with root). Only a shortcut is possible to the settings page
For info:
This application works on Jelly Bean for bluetooth (on/off), it works too for Wi-Fi (on/off)!
Think you can add other as standby Toggle for example?
up
updated version:
Notification panel folds after app selection
Accessibility service added for always-on-top
A slightly better layout of the notification shortcuts
the accessibility service should be enabled if you want the notification shortcuts to be always-on-top of the notification panel.
see first post for apk

Try NILS on the Play Store. Disabedefault notifications completely once installed and use NILS instead.
NILS mimics the new notification style of Lollipop, but will show the entire text message (depending on how you set NILS up). You can also disable certain notifications from showing.

this must be a "Samsung thing" because my wife's HTC M8 running lollipop doesnt group lock screen notifications. She gets a loooooong list of them individually, so it must be the way Samsung groups them is the reason you have to tap. I will check out the app previous post.

I actually started using NiLS because I was getting annoyed by the new notification system. Like you, I hated having to take the extra steps just to see the messages. I used to be able to just flcik the screen on, glance at my message (at least who it was from), then shut the screen down. On Lollipop, I have to turn the screen on, expand the notifications, then look at the message. What used to take about 2 seconds now takes like 10.
The other thing I hated was how the lockscreen showed EVERYTHING in your notification menu. I use Power Toggle and also Calendar STatus Pro, which both show "widgets" in the notification menu. They all would appear on the lockscreen, as well as the "Power Saving On" message and "Do Not Disturb Mode On." Disabling them in the "Application Notifications" section of the settings would also disable the notifications from the menu dropdown too. So in the end, the freaking lockscreen became a cluttered mess.
Seriously, whoever decided that this was a good idea is now on my hate list.
Is there a way to shut off HTC Boom sound notification on status bar? It is quite annoying to see it on status bar 100 times a day. Sometimes it just blinks for no reason.

It only Shows when something is playing.
So some Kind of App is responsible.
AFAIK you can't get rid of it now without root.
I wonder if you can use the disable notification feature built in to marshmallow if you can work out which app it is?
Might just be the settings app.
I don't have mine yet to try it out, but on my current Z3+ I can disable notifications generated by the main settings app.
I've read about this and it'll probably annoy me. I like a tidy status bar. The little keyboard option selector on my G4 that pops up when I'm using my keyboard annoys me, too.

Don't you've something like this:
Settings -> Language & Input -> Selector Icon (ON/OFF)
Did you try long pressing the notification choosing settings and unticking notifications?
I do not have the Selector Icon setting and there is no option to untick it in settings. I have an AT&T version, if that matters.
The Boomsound icon will appear if ANY app is running that autoplays video/audio, including Blinkfeed; News Republic; Facebook, etc. The best way to prevent it from appearing under such circumstances, is to unselect autoplay video in every app.
The reason it's popping up randomly is because of silent videos, like ads on mute, facebook videos on mute, etc.
As for disabling the notification, you might be able to accomplish that with sense toolbox (xposed) but you'd need root.
Ads on mute such as in Instagram causes the notification. It is just not necessary. Hopefully there is a "fix".

You can actually activate control over the existing toggles for the quicksettings; however, you will not have access to more toggles. Just open the quicksettings, then press and hold on the Settings button until it asks you to activate SystemUI Tuner. For more toggles you'll have to install a custom ROM (e.g., Viper10, LeeDroid, etc.).
Perhaps a custom rom like Leedroid or Viper can help

It was the same for me. Touchpal is one of the greatest keyboard-apps IMHO, but lately they changed in the wrong direction with unwanted ads like 'Daily Summary' or 'Charging Lock Screen' or 'AppLock'.
I uninstalled it because of that.

Just curious because I haven't read up on what apps caused this annoying problem but who kept the photo editor app installed?
I liked that app and it really sucks t nuts that I had to uninstall it.
If I remember correctly, there was an option to simply turn off that lock screen adware, right?
But mainly, who kept the app(s) causing this issue? It'd be nice to know if anyone did and if this was a serious issue (which I doubt) or should i have read this entire thread plus the article before posting this?

Try Snapseed, Google acquired it because it was considered the best free photo editing app.
No point using an app that has that lock screen adware. They deserve to be removed from the Play Store for violating the rules of displaying ads outside of their own app.
Didn't Adobe make Lightroom free on Android?
