Hi guys
I recently discovered that hold back to kill will completely remove the app from memory (not in cached processes) and so apps like Dice with Buddies will not get C2DM notifications (I know it's GCM now). However if I just do a force stop on the "push service" then the notifications work well. if there are no other good options it would be good to have an app that just sits on my home screen that, when run, would just programmatically do a force stop on a set of services.
You guys know of any such thing?
Thanks!

How do you turn off Flipboard notifications? I'm tired of this app spamming me every day, I've tried going into the app going to profile, hitting the settings icon and then going to Push Notifications and unchecking all of the boxes but its still sending me the notifications!
Thanks.
Block it with debloater
Goto tablet settings, apps, find flipboard and turn off notifications, simple ☺

Same issue here. Turning off push notifications does not do the trick. Pissing me off, tell you what.

That's the problem, I use it daily, just hate the notifications. I have everything unchecked in settings and still they notify me. Ugh.
If the app is running in background you still get notifications, even with it disabled in settings, only way to stop it is to open recent apps and clear flipboard once youve stopped using it, this seems to happen with alot of apps, i get the same thing with news republic app

Android allowing notifications
The Blocking Mode on Galaxy devices lets you disable the entire notifications on your device, But how to disable notifications on Android for selected apps? follow the instruction to specify which application is allowed to show notifications on the status bar:
1. Open Settings and go to Application Manager (or Apps on some devices)
2. Now you should see the list of installed applications on your device
3. Tap the application you would like to disable notifications
4. Make sure "Show Notifications" is not checked

I also cleared data and signed out - some who still use FB may not want to go this far.
I'm so proud of myself. Some months ago, I started searching the Internet to find out how to end those annoying Flipboard notifications. Today, I was out searching, again. Somehow, I accidentally discovered the answer. And you'll flip when you read my solution! (Definitely, no pun intended. )
To disable Flipboard:
1. Go to your notifications.
2. Find a recent Flipboard notification item and touch and hold the notification item.
This action should take you directly to the app's notifications settings. At the very top is the option to disable Flipboard's notifications.
This worked in my Sansung Galaxy S7, but I see no reason it shouldn't work for other devices/users who are disgusted with the annoyance.
Got my oneplus yesterday finally after 11 days from ordering.
One thing that is annoying me is on my old phone which was a htc one m7 I use to be able to hold down the back button to kill the app. This means it wouldn't even show on my recent apps menu
On 5t I went into the button setting but there is no option to kill an app while holding the back button.
Is there another way ?
I use gravity box but it requires Xposed
Why would you want to kill apps? Killing apps means if you want to re launch the app it will start from beginning costing you extra cpu power. Anyway if you don't want to root you can control your background activity on the developer settings

For me, it's just nice to have when an app is misbehaving. It's quicker than going into the app info and force stopping it from there. Sometimes my WhatsApp gets disconnected from WhatsApp web on my laptop; a force close of the app tends to fix the issue, and having a long press shortcut seems to be the quickest/most efficient way to do so
There are several notifications that are annoying to say the least.
We have a lot of control to handle app notifications that appear, but this is a system notification it seems, I can't identify what system feature is triggering the alert, then of course disabling it.
Running the Oreo Beta on a fresh install.
One of the notifications is: "blah blah app is using the battery, select for more details..." or something to that affect. It is a Android system notification, but I can't figure out what triggers that one and how to disable it.
Example, Life 360 app running in the background all the time, the alert will randomly show in the notification bar. Just swiping down and looking at it often makes it go away, I don't select it, or I just clear the alerts with the bars at the bottom.
Thanks
Go to Google Play and search for an app called "Hide 'running in the background' Notification" by iboalali.
Awesome. Thanks
say 2 things, new to oreo and s9, last phone was an s7. anyways, if i had a program running in the notifications, say for my motorcycle gps, tomtom, i was able to long press the notification, then go to app data and force stop. not seeing that anymore.
Trying to find the fastest way to force stop an app running, that has a notification. for example this one says connect device. I am not trying to hide the notification, but force close it when i don't want it running. for example this app gives me live traffic, sometimes i want it, sometimes i don't.
hope this makes sense, and thanks.
anyone have any ideas here, to force stop an app.
thanks
I'd make use of the built in Device Maintenance. If you enter this menu and click the 3-dot menu on the top right, you can add a shortcut to your Apps List. You can then place this wherever you want on your homescreen. You'll be able to quickly enter the Maintenance sub-menu and then put whatever you aren't using to Sleep, immediately.
There may be a way to add an icon to your lock menu to jump right to it (using a 3rd party shortcut app,) but I haven't swam that far in the sea yet.
recents, long press the app icon on the left, wait for the i info letter to appear on the right, press i, force stop.
this was posted elsewhere. seems like the ticket !!
I'm looking for an app that monitors and logs what happens, in real time; live; like the running services and processes in the application manager, on a behind the scenes level... kind of like a wakelock detector, but deeper and more sophisticated...
For example, my phone is always showing a notification randomly, "Finding Location" and "Location Found" and the notification remains stuck until I manually clear it, and it happens with no apps visibly running, and it will pop up again and again randomly. And on my girlfriends phone, with NO apps running, And the phone sitting on the table not being touched for hours, lockscreen STILL locked; her phone will start playing audio of sorts, like an Ad is playing or a youtube video, but when you unlock the phone there are NO visible apps running, no tabs are even open when you open the browser, nothing on the notification bar, this audio that plays is 100% completely invisible and hidden, and cannot be shut off without pulling the battery and rebooting the phone. This occurance has happened in a few occasions now.
So I am looking for an app that monitors what "hidden" actions are being executed and where they are coming from. It has to be from apps that are obviously running or waking in the background and using the parent apps "permissions" to trigger and allow access to my location via GPS. And on my girlfriends phone, something similar, somehow a background app that's hidden; is at minimal; using a "permission" to access my audio/speaker, and We'd like to track down the source of where this obscure audio is originating from so we can further investigate.
Is there some type of app that does this? Or is there a way to acomplish What I am trying to do? These are just two major examples to try to help illustrate what I mean.
Hi!
Try on Settings/Developer Options, scroll until the bottom and you should have something like "Inactive apps", there you should be able to see all active (and inactive) apps installed on the phone. Except the system apps...
There you can also switch from active to inactive, but if you open the app, or if the app becomes active by itself somehow, the status change.
But in those crazy situations like add-aware, probably you should try "Clean Master". The publicity is annoying but use to be effective. After the problem be solved you uninstall it.
