Is there a way you can do this on Android? Like on iOS you can open up the notification bar in any app.

This is a feature in MIUI rom. Try it out
Any app that shows the notification bar would allow you to pull it down and view your notifications.
If you mean while playing games and other full screen apps then really having that function would defeat the object of it being a full screen app.
I hate the thought of losing some of my 720p screen while playing games just to see my notifications. Any text, email, calendar event can wait until I'm dona playing
Download Smart Statusbar from the Play Store! Will suffice your exact need!

Well on iOS the games are still full screen, its just that you can swipe the invisible notification bar 2 times down then it will go down.

This is how Smart Status works, that's the app you want.
Agreed, this app works like a charm and offers a decent amount of customization.

Hey all.
Recently (like a week ago or so) I started seeing ads in my notification bar... it has an icon which is a white star with a red dot in the middle. The last one I got said "College degrees available" and when I clicked it... it brought me to gameloft.com (first time seeing this site)
Any ideas? It's not that much of a nuisance, but I'm just afraid of spyware and such.
I didn't install any new apps (at least I don't think), but did update my apps.
Thanks.
next time, press and hold the ad in the notification bar. Then a pop up should appear which brings you to the App info. there you can disable notifications for the app. This should help.
Or you just go to the app info directly if you know which app causes this.

you are right, I don't tought about this, thanks.
You may want to try an app like Airpush Detector to find what apps are giving you these adds.

One star the app and leave a comment saying they are spamming the notification bar, devs should be discouraged to using these types of ads. I have no problem with paying a dollar (or a few if needed) or seeing in app ads, but ads being displayed on the home screen or notification bar from an app is unacceptable.

This. No app should have that sort of crap in them.

I second this app. Try it to find out the culprit and let others know in the market review.

Hi! I just got my new LG G4 a few days ago, and I would like to know if there is an easy way to get weather information (preferably via widget) in the lockscreen of Android 6.0. My phone is not rooted, and at this moment I do not intend to do so, either.
I know this can be achieved with alternative lock screens, but as far as I know, those lock screens do not allow me to use the camera in a safe session while the phone remains locked, and this feature is a must for me. So, if anyone knows of a replacement lockscreen that allows this, then please let me know.
Thanks!
No one knows?
Well, you can always use Google now to find that info. Just say "Ok google, what's the weather like today?" (need to have google now installed and voice trigger activated)
The LG G4's lock screen itself has the animations of weather when there is high intensity of rain, fog or storm out there. That's really an awesome feature.
If you still want to see exact numbers on your lock screen, you can get any app that puts the info on your notification bar. Naturally, the notification appears on lock screen on g4 so from there you can get it....
Hope it helps

Thanks a lot! I can't get the weather animation on the lock screen. Does it only appear with a particular lock method (swipe, PIN, etc.)? Or with a particular swipe effect?
As for an app that puts the info on the notification bar, wouldn't that make the notification light blink constantly? Also, wouldn't that prevent the phone from sleeping and thus consume much more battery?

Hey,
So many questions at once! Will answer one by one
You will get the weather animation when the weather is intense, like its raining out there or fog is there. Not for the general temperatures, but for the unusual ones.
The option can be enabled in Settings > Lock Screen > Weather Animations.
For the App that puts info on notification Bar, you have the option to disable notification light for a particular app. You can disable the notification light for the weather app, however some would prefer that light keep blinking 24x7
No, notifications do not prevent phone from sleeping. Understand it this way: when you get messages on any app, say whatsapp or facebook messenger, you get notifications. But does that prevent phone from sleeping or consumes extra battery? no. Similarly, this app will just be getting hourly updates from server just like you getting messages on whatsapp. So Standby mode won't be affected.

I do not have that setting I have not done much to the phone since I got it. I updated it to 6.0, and I am using Lightning Launcher instead of the LG one. Could any of those things prevent me from seeing that option in settings?

Ok, I understand. Though, I see that my lockscreen has space for 2 notifications at a time, so I guess that if I receive an sms and I have a calendar event, the weather notification will be hidden, right? Oh, well, at least it is better than not having the notification at all.

Well Mate, I completely understand your situation.
Unfortunately, unlocking G4 isn't possible and at MM, rooting is not possible too (as of now).
Else I am sure custom roms can provide you all that you want with minimal effort.

And yes, you need to use LG launcher along with weather app from LG.
Anyways, LG launcher is quite stable and once you customize it with your preferences, its actually better than any other launcher out there. It allows you to switch off screen on double tap, the folders are quite good and customization, you can uninstall apps directly from drawer...in short its a good launcher.
I myself preferred Google now launcher earlier before having G4 but G4's launcher is really good.
I have an old app called Weatherbug Elite. It has the option of keeping live weather info in the notification bar. With it turned on the temperature is always displayed and when you slide open the notification bar there is a panel of weather info. This same panel shows on the lock screen via notifications. It does not keep the phone awake or blink the light. If there are several notifications it compresses on the lock screen them and you can expand them with a slide.
This app is no longer available, I got it as a free app of the day from Amazon a long time ago. There must be other apps that do the same thing though.

Thanks for the info! I'll try to track it down. Still, I do not understand why Google nerfed the lockscreen so much in the last versions of Android.
Hello
I have a very strange question, but I would like to be able to run an application in the background (example: telegram) because after a few moment, I no receive notification (I must reopen the application for see it) ? Anyone know how to set up Android 7.0 for that
Tap on the lock icon next to the x.

In your phone, go in settings and click on power option, in that select background app management and disable the app for which you want to receive notifications for.
Else go to notification center in settings and check whether you have blocked the app from receiving any notifications from that particular app..
Thanck you it work
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.
