Yes, I believe you can. Got to:
Settings - Apps - App Info
Show system Apps
Locate Sprint Cloud
Tap app notifications
Select what you don't want to see
Or:
Next time you receive a notification in the status bar, long press or slide the notification to expose the settings icon and select the notifications you want or don't want to see.

Sync, push etc.

Trying to figure out, after many years of Android, what the SYNC toggle in Android turn on/off.
I thought this woulkd turn on/off ALL push notifications, but it seems instead that it does so only for google ones (gmail. exchange, calendar, tasks, play stores) while facebook and whatsapp are totally ignored.
I am finding the best way when at home to switch off all notifications besides whatsapp actually, without going into each one of them: is tehre any?
I dont use whatsapp, but my Facebook acts same as yours.. If I don't want notifications I have to manually go in the app and turn them off. I think the sync toggle is for Google services, possibly everything set up in "accounts". The Facebook sync in accounts is for contacts, that is why it does not stop notifications.

well at least now I know it's not only me...
yeah it's a little annoying that Android does not have a sigle notificstion register point where all apps (even those not using google srvices) can register for push notifications, so that it'd be easy to toggle on/off what you want, insteda of going into each app's settings
I thought that tasker could help, but no it cannot...

Put your tablet in silent and just respond when your phone notifies you?

Dark ParanoidAndroid by Daxmax has a "Do not Disturb" toggle. Sounds like that's what you're looking for unless you are on stock maybe? Bottom right toggle

Turn off music control/notification

Hey guys, I wasn't sure if this warranted it's own thread, but I think it does since there's no "Ask Any Question!" sticky like some of the big boards.
Anyway, when listening to music through Pandora, I have a persistent notification allowing me to pause/play my music from my Moto 360. Can I turn it off? Notifications are very large and block the face so I can't tell the time. Normally, I'm okay with swiping others away, but this one is persistent. I tried adding Pandora to the notification mute list in the Wear app, but that didn't work. I can mute all notifications, that's not what I'm after. Can I just turn off music control somewhere?

Go to Android Wear app on your phone, select the Cog Gears (Settings) icon on top right corner. Select first option "Mute app notifications", select Pandora or any apps you don't want notifications to be pushed to your watch. Done!

Is there a way to disable ALL notifications? I dont see a reason to get notifications on my watch when I always have my phone on me. I guess you could say I got it for an advanced watch, not another gadget to notify me of e-mail, etc

You can just pull down from the top of the watch until it vibrates and says "Mute" then you won't get any notifications until you repeat those steps to unmute it
For some reason, this trick doesn't work with tune in radio
Really?

Ummmm, you did know it was a smartwatch when you bought it? If your not using it, as a smart watch, then I don't see the point of you owning it... Just saying.

Wanting to get rid of a persistent notification that bothers him hardly puts him in the category of not using it as a smartwatch.
Even if you turned off all notifications, it's still a smart watch, it runs apps, responds to voice queries, keeps your phone unlocked, etc...

Remember during initial setup when it asked you to activate the Android Wear notification listener service? Undo that. Then it has no idea when you have a notification.

This doesn't work for Spotify either. Are there any other idea's?
Just adding my voice... it's a really annoying 'feature' of Android Wear (or Wear OS, as it now seems to be called).
I went through and I disabled every single notification (about 300 or so of them) and the media notification still appears, and doesn't time out. This is annoying because it lights up the screen which eats through my battery. Why can't it auto-hide itself LIKE EVERY OTHER NOTIFICATION?
Grrr....

[Q] How to turn off Flipboard notifications?

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
androidwidgetcenter.com/android-tips/how-to-disable-notifications-on-android-for-selected-apps/
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.

Disable Peeking in Nougat?

I just took the upgrade to 7.0 yesterday and while I do like a lot of things about it...I cannot seem to disable notification peeking. From what I've read, it's been moved to the System Tuner UI, but it doesn't seem possible to enable that for the G5. Is there a workaround or an app that can kill peeking? Having my screen fill up with notification info is driving me nuts.
You can click and hold on notifications and change them top show silently, or you can use apps with their own notification settings (like textra for messaging) or you can do what lg's customer support told me to do "take this awful apple ui knock off garbage, and call it feature, because you're not going to get what you want"

Yeah silent notifications isn't going to work. I'll check to see if Google Hangouts has the option in settings to disable peeking as it's the biggest offender. Thanks for the heads up. I'm pretty annoyed that Sprint "upgraded" me to a G5 from my G4 when it started boot looping, because I was afraid this would happen. I was perfectly content having my little G4 with root on it.

No it doesn't. But you can enable the Always-on display function to see notifications icons when your screen is off.

yes. even allowing a picture on it
Not even does it allow a picture, there's a little menu where you can scroll through functions such as turning the flashlight on or off, wifi etc...
The always on display is interactive unlike the LG G7

Go To:
Settings > General > Apps & Notifications > Notifications >Brief Notifications > Sidelight
You can choose which apps you want to have the Sidelight Notifications for.

This is active only when received message right? Is there any option to have active unless I read the message?
I still have G2 with led for 4 years and I am really addicted
Most manufacturers have either phased them out already or are probably in the process of phasing them out. Its like asking for a removable battery. I miss them too but things change.

As someone else mentioned, you can enable side light so the edge of the screen lights up. If you go into the app specific notifications you can also enable the camera flash for notifications. I have this on for SMS and calls.
Hi guys,
Do we have an app that works for the LG G8 like Pulse Beat for the 6T?
And I see no option to wake screen when I receive a notification.
The G8 doesn't have LED Notification BUT it has SideLighr Notifications.
Settings>General>Apps& Notifications>Notifications>Brief Notifications>SideLight
You can choose which apps to show Notifications.

Yeah I know and it works well but once that is finished and I didn't see it I wouldn't know if I got a notification. AOD seems to be the only way round and I'm trying out Glimpse Notification from the play store as an alternative.
Hurray!
Trying out the sidelight now
