Hide icons of running apps on the status bar? Is it possible to do this without rooting? I hate having to look at the spotify icon / whatsapp desktop and other apps icons on my status bar all the time, it looks so cluttered , I KNOW spotify it's running since the music is playing google, I'm not that stupid to know it's running in the background , if I want to look at my notifications, let's say I get an email, I'll slide down the notification bar , I don't need notifications being thrown at me all the time...

Does long pressing the notification in question not allow you to shut it off? Or am I misunderstanding your interpretation?
Press and hold the Settings icon Quick Settings for a while. You'll see a new section System UI Tuner, from. There you can turn on or off icon in the status bar area. You'll also now notice a wrench next to your settings icon in your quick setting area.
I hope this is what you're referring to.
You can also swipe right slowly and it will reveal a settings icon, tap there and turn off notification from just that app

If you do that you then silence all the notifications for that app , don't get me wrong I don't want to eliminate the notifications , I just want to eliminate the icons on the status bar .
Take a look at the picture I uploaded , see how the bar gets crowded with all those app icons from Spotify , the new York times apps etc ?
For what you're wanting, you'll need root.

The notification panel should act like stock.
A screenshot would be useful as i'm not quite sure what you are referring to
i took two photos
when i get a message (facebook, whatsapp, etc)
and slide down from the top to open what i call the notification bar
i get this control panel (like you can see in the picture)
when i press the icon on the top right of the screen
it switches to the notifications (as you can see on the second pic)
now my question is if there a way to cancel the control panel and leave it just for notifications?
keep it simple you know
thanks for the help

In Settings - Toolbars there should be an option "Quick pulldown" which allows the right edge of the status bar to pull down the quick settings.
Uncheck the option
Try this.. drag down from the top once.. then tap on the blue person icon next to the settings button.
does it close the status bar and make it refuse to open until a reboot? Wondering if its my phone

hi, is there any app or settings through which i can achieve thr below requirement.
enable notification icons on status bar only. I don't want to see the notification (message)in the drop down notification are. just want the app icon in status bar and sound.
is there any settings available in Android??
is it possible after rooting the device??
please tell me ?
Hold down on the notification you don't want to see then go into the settings and you'll see that you can MUTE or completely block the notification.
The thing you may be looking for is a notification blocker app.
Unless I click the actual notification to open the app, they won't go away until I view the app and then swipe down the notification panel. When swiping down there isn't even a notification, just the icon in the status bar.
On Android Pie
Any ideas?

I have also had this problem, mainly with Hangouts. I'm using a ROM though so maybe thats it?
I'm locked unfortunately, so no. Seems to happen with every app for me.
Hi, is there a way to keep the nav bar visible at all times in full screen apps. I hate swiping to get it to appear ... There is no such option in the nav bar options in settings... Also I have NiceLock addon for the bar but there is no such option either.
If there is no way with app or something can this be done with root?
Try asking this question on Android Central. It's a lot more active and you will probably get a response there.
