I couldn't figure out how to disable the persistent notification for the power save feature in the stock rom, and as far as I know there isn't a way to do it through the settings menu. But if you download an app called "notifications off" and uncheck notifications for the settings app, then it goes away. Use some caution, though, I'm not sure that turning off ALL of the notifications from the settings app might not have some unexpected adverse effects.

Does anyone know how to set up a task to turn on do not disturb, or priority only, or whatever it's called? Coming from htc, you could just tell tasker to turn the volume all the way down or turn on silent mode. Can't seem to duplicate that on the g4. I'm using smart settings now, but the results are inconsistent.
i think you need secure settings (plugin, playstore) to archive this
In Tasker, there's an option for Audio > Interrupt Mode - in there you can choose Priority or All. This should do what you want.
I have Tasker setup to mute the phone just before and just after the "battery full" sound plays, as it cannot be disabled (without root).

Perfect, thanks. And I was using a task to turn off the battery full sound also, until I realized that I can just keep the volume level for "touch feedback and system" all the way down. That gets rid of the battery full sound along with some of the other ones that were bothering me.
My favorite g4 tasker workarounds are to set up a task to turn the volume all the way back up again after I plug in headphones and it automatically turns down the volume "to protect my hearing", and adding an icon in the status bar whenever it's charging because I need a visual confirmation that it's still plugged in and I can't make out that lightning bolt in the default battery icon.
Is there any way to remain stock, unrooted and have a quick toggle for the location setting (high accuracy, battery saving, device only, off)?
I keep it on battery saving generally to ensure I can make full use of Google Now but toggle location on for navigation as needed. It's clunky to have to go back in to the menu manually and change it to battery saving every time. Any suggestions?
No particularly elegant way.
I do the same as you, but have my authomation app (MacroDroid) show a notification when High Accuracy is set and a press on that notification starts a Macro that uses the Tasker plugin AutoInput to switch back to Battery Saving (MacroDroid can use some Tasker plug-ins). AutoInput allows you to automate various screen touches. So still clunky but allows you to switch back with one press.
There is a Settings Widget in stock that will get you there quicker. When you drop the widget onto your screen, it prompts for the setting shortcut type. Select Location when prompted.
If you install "Power Toggles" from the play store you can customize which quick settings buttons appear and would be able to create a toggle to get into the location settings so you could tap that and you would immediately be in the setting menu you want. This doesn't require root. Unfortunately Power Toggles doesn't seem to have the ability to cycle through those settings at all without root. Getting to that settings screen quickly is nice though.
However, If you have root access you can create a "GPS" toggle which would switch your phone between "Battery Saving" and "High Accuracy" and a long press on that toggle could pull up the location settings menu if you wanted to go to "Device Only" mode. For some reason there doesn't seem to be a way to toggle "Device Only" without going to that menu which is why I have the location menu set up as a long press on that GPS toggle. I typically leave it in "Battery Saving" and if I use maps I will toggle it to "High Accuracy".

To start - I do know that there are several ways to prevent lock screen notifications.
1) In the main Notifications settings I have options for "On the lock screen":
- "Show all notification content"
- "Don't show notifications at all"
Of course this is all or nothing, so it isn't really very flexible.
2) Then, if I turn on Power notification controls I can set an app to "Level 2" which includes:
- Prevent full screen interruption
- Never peek
- Never make sound or vibrate
- Hide from lock screen
- Show at the bottom of the notification list
However this is almost totally useless as if I choose to restrict an app to Level 2 because I don't want it on the lock screen, I lose the ability for those notification to have any real type of visibility outside of the lock screen.
It appears that stock N has a switch for each app to control whether that app can show notification on the lock screen or not. Here is one such example.
This is very problematic for an app such as Gmail (or any mail app). I want my e-mail notifications to always make a sound/vibrate, etc...but I don't want the details of the e-mails to show in the lockscreen.
Now I have noticed that if I set a lockscreen with a secure option (other than "swipe"), that there is an option to hide notifications with secure content. In this case, my mail notifications show up without details and simply say "content hidden."
This last option gets me a reasonable result, but it requires me to set a secure lock screen. I realize that without a secure lockscreen anyone can simply open your phone and read the e-mail anyway...but it would be very nice to have the options from stock N that simply allow you to disable a particular app's ability to just show on the lock screen.
Ideas?
You must not of understood the settings. What you mentioned was exactly what your trying to achieve.

- "Don't show notifications at all"

That setting is applied per app and would disable notifications from that app on the lock screen.
Update:
I think I see the confusion. Your accessing the Global Notifications settings and not individually selecting the app before changing that setting. The one you found controls all Notifications. Go into the app like this and change the setting per app.
(GOTO Settings>Notifications>Select App you want and then set On the Lock Screen to Do not show notifications at all(on the lock screen, this app only))
Correct me if I'm wrong but you just want no notifications from a particular app, only on the lock screen but want normal notifications to work while it's not locked. This would achieve that.
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
I have my new S9 on T-Mobile, and really like it. However, I keep getting notifications that the "app power monitor" has terminated sleeping processes. This sounds like something that Samsung is doing to "enhance" my Android experience *smile*. I'd really rather just use the native Android OS, rather than some Samsung monitoring facility that's most likely using more battery than it's saving. Is there a way to turn off the "app power monitor"? I looked for an app with that name and didn't find it, so they've probably got an app with a different name doing this.
I've already turned off the annoying notifications using the "Device Maintenance" settings tab -> Battery -> Advanced settings -> Notifications, but I assume that doesn't turn off the functionality. Nice not to have the notifications, but I'd really like to kill the whole thing *smile*.
Does anyone out there know how to turn off the "app power monitor" app/functionality?
Thanks!
Update: I believe that I've answered my own question. Now that I've turned off the notifications from the app power monitor, I believe that has also turned off the app power monitor itself. When I go into "Device Maintenance" -> "Battery", I now see the "App Power Monitor" section has been collapsed to a single setting to "Turn on" the app power monitor. So, oddly enough, turning off the notification for the app power monitor also turns off the functionality. These are usually orthogonal, notification settings and functionality, but in this case not so much.
Next time you get the notification, swipe right on it, tap the gear icon, scroll down and turn off "Apps consuming battery"
