Is there anyway to make the active notifications breathe at a faster rate both when you don't have a new notification and when you do have a new notification?
You'll probably have to install a third party app.
I usually flip my phone when I want to check

I have a question. If you have installed yahoo messenger and you press the home button (putting the app in multitasking) will I still receve incoming notifications from that app(yahoo messenger)? This can go on for many other apps. Does it work like in android? If you press the home button when in an app that app will still run in the background, and receve notifications.
Hope I was clear enough. Sorry for my bad English.
It does not work like Android, in that backgrounded apps do not continue running. They are preserved for a quick restart, but the app itself is suspended to prevent it from consuming CPU time and bettery life (one of the major problems on Android is that it's often difficult to get an app to *stop* wasting battery life).
However, apps can register a special background task in the OS to handle "push notifications" - that is, messages from external server that the phone will receive and display even if the app isn't running at all - and it is extremely common for IM apps to support them. Check the Settings for the app; there should be a section about push notifications. Enable those, and you'll get an alert when a message arrives. Tap the alert to open the app so you can respond; swipe the alert off-screen to the right (or just ignore it for a few seconds) to dismiss it.
I'm not currently owning any w8 device but i'm planning on buying a 620 or 8s. can't decide.(this is my budget)
Thanks for your answer ! :good:
I posted this in the Themes and Apps subforum a week ago and got no responses. I was wondering if anyone proficient at Tasker knows how to modify Active Display/Notifications.
For instance, is it possible to use Tasker to dictate what notifications will show up on Active Display depending on the time of day? So, when I'm at work, I'd like to disable (i.e., uncheck) all corporate email notifications (but only as they appear in Active Display) since I get those notifications on my PC anyway. If not, maybe I need to just disable corporate email notifications globally during that period of time, which would be a less desirable solution.
I could be wrong, but I think Tasker can only do something like that if the app is setup as a plugin to work with Tasker.
There very well may be an easier/better way to do it, but if you're rooted you can run shell commands to simulate touch input on the device. You could have a task to open the Active Notifications settings, and simulate the input of tapping the checkboxes you wanted to enable/disable, and run different tasks to set/remove them based on time/location/etc.
Like I said, there may be an easier way that I am not aware of, but that comes to mind.

thats actually a genius idea...unsure if we can change the active notification setting, but maybe use tasker to clear the notification from the status bar then maybe bring it back (or a tasker notification with smiliar messaging) about the skipped notification on unlock.

Well it could definitely toggle the setting. I've used it to run some actions within apps before (apps that I wanted to "manually" sync on a specific schedule. You define the shell commands as:
Code:
input tap X Y
or
input swipe X1 Y1 X2 Y2
So you'd launch "settings", find the coordinates of the Active Display button, set it to tap there, find and set the coords for "manage notification types", and the associated apps. This could be tough if you add/remove apps a lot, because the coordinates would change if a new app falls in the list ahead of one you have setup to use this method, but it would work.
You could also fire a notification from Tasker when the task is executed to tell you that the selected apps are behind hidden.
This is exactly what I wanted. How and where can I input this shell command? And how can I find the coordinates?
Hey all, I have a quick question about how android handles popup notifications. I know there is no stock way to remove it or turn it off, but does 5.0.1 let you, or is there a custom ROM I could flash to fix this annoyance as seen in the picture I've posted? Thanks.
what exactly is the annoyance?
You can turn off notifications for individual apps BTW - go to settings/sounds and notifications/App notifications and turn them off
The annoyance is the popup notifications. And I still want to be notified of Hangouts messages as I rely on it, but don't want this popup that can only be swiped away that dismisses the notification.
Dear experts, please help

I personally don't think there is an option to turn off Heads Up or now called "Peeking" notifications. However, there are a few third-party apps that can help you disable the heads up notification but you have to disable each app manually. AFAIK heads-up notification is the quickest way to reply and makes life easy and reduces the RAM usage and background activity which on whole will reduce your battery usage.
The best option is to have this notification which look like that>>> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EV_hXQAJ8-vXUeUzyWjPTJdZ4zZ6k10g/view?usp=drivesdk
Does anyone know what to do to have this notifications?
Hi guys. I just switched from Apple land and trying to get used to the Android ecosystem since I've been using iPhones since the iPhone 4.
The biggest pain point for me is getting a handle on the notifications. Apple gave you a lot less control over what you see so I'm a bit overwhelmed with the amount of control for SOME apps (I guess it depends on how granular the developer makes it for the users).
My current obstacle is receiving notifications while in an active call. I spend most of my work day in meetings so it's important to see notifications showing up in real time. When I'm on a call the notifications are causing a vibration or alert but there is no popup to indicate which one just came in. When I slide down the notification center I don't think the notifications are sorted by date/time so I have no idea which one just came in.
1) is there a way to force notifications to pop up on screen even when I'm on a call so I can glance at what it's about?
2) is there a way to sort notifications based on date/time so I can make sure the topmost one is the most recent?
3 bonus round) does anyone have a good solution for more iOS like notification bar that looks less congested and confusing (this is one of the only things I miss about iOS)
Thanks.
