I've been looking for a fix for this for the last 3 generation of android phones I've owned. Is there a way to fix this for rooted phones yet? There seems to be very little discussion about this topic. I've been muting the notification sound; but, that doesn't prevent the volume from going down while listening to music or watching a movie.
When you change the volume it will be automatic depending on what app you have opened. If you want to adjust a specific volume you can hit the arrow on the volume panel to expand it. Some mods allows it to always be expanded.
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I was actually hoping for a non-rooted fix to prevent it from happening in the first place. I tried looking for an exposed framework mod; but, wasn't sure which one would do it, if any. I did find the simplest non-root solution below (if anyone's interested):

Hello!
I am wondering if there is an xposed module (or a setting) to disable auto expanded notifications on Android 5.0 Lollipop. I am only reading about auto expanding all notification and thinks like this.
But i want to disable auto expanded notifications. The reason is mainly PowerAmp app which has a notification to control music playback. The thing is that my phone screen is pretty small (Samsung Galaxy s3 mini with CM12) and PowerAmp notification is always expanded.
So, is it possible to disable auto expanding notifications on Android Lollipop? I have already tried "App Settings" xposed module, but an option "Disable big notifications" does not seem to work.
Thank you!
You could try GravityBox, or NotificationManager. I have no idea if any of them supports modifying behaviour you want to change though.
If I were you, I'd lower the dpi in build.prop, as I find Music controls to be quite handy
I have to admit that my request is quiet unusual.
GravityBox and NotificationManager do not have those functions.
Could you point me to some direction to learn something more about that build.prop? I have never modified that file before...
Me too

Old thread, but I am looking to stop any notification from expanding in Lollipop/Marshmallow. The reason is I might accidentally swipe on a notification while I am just swiping to get to the settings panel, and there is no way to collapse the notification again.I hate it, one of the reason I am still on KitKat
Did you guys ever find a way to do this? Expanded notifications are annoying and take up a lot of space. And save a whole ONE tap.
I searched a bit and took me a while to find this. Maybe this post will help others.
Do you wish the volume buttons on your s5 would control media and not ringtone? This is standard on many custom roms like cm and makes much more sense.
There is only one way that I know of to accomplish this on stock lolipop without root.
Rocker Locker
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tomwandroid.rockerlocker
It's a small app that runs in the background upon startup. It gives you control back over your volume buttons. I mean who really needs to adjust ringer volume on the fly... Isn't it best to just set it.. Leave it.. Then use toggles for silent/vibrate. Not to mention your phone in pocket accidently getting its ringer turned down.. Not cool.
I consider this app one of my top 5 essential apps on a stock lolipop s5. It's like its not even there.
Hope you enjoy.
Let me know how you like it.

I have a root. I have a Lolipop. You can make installation of Rocker Locker immortal
Hi, ud have root an lollipop his galaxy s5 AT&T ?
PD: SORRY FOR ME ENGLISH, LOL
New to this forum so I hope I'm in the right place to ask this stupid question! I have always had a Samsung but recently upgraded to the Nexus 6 so I'm pretty used to android operating system. But, for some reason I cannot find how to adjust the volume for phone ring and notifications separately! Is this the norm for Nexus 6 and if so what can I do about it? Thanks for your help in advance!!!!
Yes that is standard for nexus. That's why there isn't a separate notification slider in settings. .
One way around it is root, install Xposed, and install gravity box. That gives lots of customization options, including splitting notification and ringer volumes apart, like Samsung.
I am testing out a Moto Z Force (coming from a Nexus 6P) to see if I can handle switching without having root. And a couple of things I am missing already. Is there anyway to break out the volume controls and have a separate control for ringtone and a separate one for your notifications like sms? I hate having the same volume control for ringtone and sms. Next, I miss my "power menu". Is there anyway to get the flashlight option by pressing and holding the power button down?
I know these are not big deals...just seeing if I can fix them
@darkcyber20 I don't know of a way without having root privileges to ruin the volume controls.
For the flashlight though, Moto has baked in a gesture for quickly enabling it. It's a double chop motion. Look in the Moto app, in the section called Actions.

Well, crap! Why do these phone manufactures think people want to have the same volume level for their ringtone as for their text app? Thanks for the information! The ringtones and notifications sounds are considerable lower than my Nexus 6P

I personally hate the separate ringtone/notification volume controls. That was one thing that seriously annoyed me about the Sammy phones I have owned. I'd lower the volume with the side buttons then get blasted by a notification tone.

I like separate volume controls. I use an app to set the volumes/vibration appropriately for the situation.
Also, it should be easy to allow the volumes to be linked if desired. Someday we will have the best of both worlds.

The app I use is called Audio Profiles. Unfortunately it does not have the ability to set different volumes for the ring tone and the notification unless the phone allows it. I had the LG G5 and the Note 7 (for a few days) and it worked with both of those. It won't work with the Moto Z family. My comment that you quoted simply meant that it shouldn't be that hard for the software to allow either separated or linked ring and notification tones.
However, my notification tone is OK. There is a known issue with the notification tones being hosed. It seems to be sort of random. When I was trying to select a tone, I could not hear some of them so I selected one that was a good volume. Not sure if you are able to pick one that sounds OK. Some folks can and some cannot. Hopefully this will be resolved with the next update.
Also, Audio Profiles is not perfect. Sometime it doesn't give you the profile you selected. It is better than 95% with my experience which isn't bad. I had a hard time finding one that worked at all. I used to use Tasker, but gave that up.

I can barely hear my notifications. guess i have an affected device.
good news is a new one is on its way. mine came out of the box with a bad LCD, (black spot top left corner) and moto sent me a new device already. hopefully it doesnt have that audio bug. its driving me nuts
Got my new Device today. Same issue with the sound. Might have to call moto to try and make another claim And get a non updated device. This came with the latsst update pre installed unfortunately.

s10e I can't find the setting for volume slider in notification bar anywhere. Then i read Pie has a vertical volume slider. I can't find how to enable it. My older phones have horizontal slider bars in notification panel. I can't find volume slider in s10e
Samsung didn't implement the vertical slider for volume. I also don't know of a way to have it in the notification bar

There's one app i like trayvolume and discovered another one volume slider but don't want extra apps running in background. Not always convenient to use hardware buttons for volume. Scumsung kept the brightness slider. I expected volume slider next to it. What will scumsung think of next.

Honestly, they're making it more like other Android devices. The volume slider in the notification tray hasn't been in most Android devices since Lollipop at least.
Seriously though, I forgot what a dangerous place XDA is when a new device comes out. Nobody likes change and few can be happy with their device. If you think they're "Scum" then return it and move on.
I'm done here

I didn't know how sensitive some community members are. Like i insulted your entire family. My Andorid 7-7.1 phones all have volume slider. It can be enabled or disabled. This isn't change. This is intentional crippling of device. I like it. Hope scumsung will fix their flaws down the road. For now i'll use 3rd party apps for buttons or slider.

It's not a flaw and it's certainly not crippling the device. It's a personal little problem of yours that didn't make it onto the phone. It's not all about you so get over it and use an app to do it.

i hope i didn't seriously offend/insult/trigger anyone here with my complaints. I guess locked bootloaders and other flaws/issues will always remain my personal problems. okay. fine.
My issue that prompted the snarky reply was how you made it sound like it is a major dealbreaker, when an app can easily replace it. The fact you used "Scumsung" didn't help either.

No it's not a major or any deal breaker. That's how you interpreted it. Plenty of other deal breakers thought. Samsung is officially changing its name to SCUMSUNG. Didn't they inform shareholders yet?
