On the S9 "app icon badges" screen in "settings", it says "notifications and badges are linked."
Is it possible to *un*link them either through a setting (that I'm not seeing) or a third party app? Search results on the net for this issue are almost exclusively about how to turn the badges off.
In an ideal world, I use the notifications that appear at the top of the screen to let me know something has come in and I can check whether I need to deal with it immediately. If it's not a right-now issue, I swipe it away to keep the clutter off the top bar. At the end of the day, I cruise to a folder of communications apps and look for badges to remind me to deal with what I could ignore earlier. Badges disappearing after a swipe is a big monkey wrench in how I interact with my phone.
Any thoughts on a fix or a work-around?

Hi guys,
An app I use (flightradar24) sends alerts in the notification bar. Is there a way to view these in retrospect after they have cleared from the status bar.
Is there a log or history of all notifications that appeared in the status bar. Even after they are cleared. missed calls, text received, updates available etc etc
thanks
Unfortunately there isn't. Once a notification is gone, it's gone. It's not like Facebook where you can go back and view past ones. Sorry!
Imo it makes sense for the app to keep track of data that is still useful to the user. The notification bar is for notifications, not for archiving stuff.

I guess I actually agree with that.
Just to give the question context... When an aircraft declares an emergency a push notification comes to my phone which states "A-XXXX squawk 7700" etc. I click this noifcation and the app opens up and shows the aircraft location and details.
Occasionally the aircraft is gone or has already landed. when I go back to the notifcation bar to get the flight number (A-XXXX) etc, it's gone so I now don't know which aircraft it was that declared the emergency. I need to take note of the aircraft flight number before I click the notifcation to open the app.
I'll report this to the app designer.

That's standard Android functionality. Tapping on any notification in the notification bar causes it to disappear unless the app is constantly running in the foreground. In this case, that would negate the whole purpose of push notifications.
This isn't a design issue with the app, it's just the way Android works. As a workaround, instead of tapping on the notification, just go into the app and navigate to the aircraft alert that way. That way you never tapped on the notification, and it will still be there in your notification bar until you clear it.
You could take a screenshot of the notification with power+volume down before touching the notification. The screenshot will then stay in the notifications until you need it.
Not perfect obviously but just an idea.

hi there folks. so, theres apps like whatsapp and many others that show you a notification of someone who texted you in the drawer, and then you swipe it left or right to dismiss it, but after some minutes the notification shows again. is there anyway to dismiss it and it not come back to the drawer?
[bump]
+1
same here
It is quite a problem with whatsapp only i think, other i use halo to dismiss all at once.
But good question here for dismissing specially whatsapp notification. :good:
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
Just started using Oreo, and have found something annoying and hoping I'm just missing a setting or something.
In Messages (and every other app so far) I have the option to Alert and Pop-up, or just alert without the pop up notification.
When I choose to just alert, I expect the notification Drop down to still show content. However, it's hidden unless I choose to notify with pop-up. I can't find a middle ground.
Checked security settings, and the only thing related is to hide content on the lock screen.
Anyone have any thoughts or advice on this?
I'm on CRAF
The brief notification is where you get a small pop up at the top of your screen. How the hell do you do this globally? Some apps like WhatsApp you can do from within the actual app's settings. Others you can turn off priority notifications.. But some apps don't have any valid setting. How can I disable this for all apps. Its such a useless feature for me.
Anyone?
