Is there a way of prioritising notifications so that a specific app's notifications will always appear at the top of the list?
I have a video doorbell app which I'd always like to access quickly if the doorbell is pressed.

I'm using an app on the paranoid android ROM. Its a proxy app and every time it connects I get a notification saying "you've been connected". However when that happens it appears on the top of the screen and I can't slide the notification away. I've already tried black listing the app and stop notifications from the android settings menu. But the notifications keep on coming. How can I completely stop all the notifications from that app?
Is there a way to get notifications for 3. party apps if they are closed? Currently I can get notifications from Instagram and others only when I left them opened. Also, I'm using Auto ring app to be able to define important contacts which will be able to access me when phone is set to silent. On all other Android phones this app works like service but on Fire phone it has to be open to work.

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.
In the main Notifications settings I have options for "On the lock screen":
- "Show all notification content"
- "Don't show notifications at all"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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
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?
