Is there some kind of trick to get the setting to enable "notification access" for an app? In the system settings this is not available... I have root.
*Update*
After searching and trying, i found a solution for myself
You need an app that creates a shortcut to an activity.
I used Nova Launcer and created a shortcut to Settings$NotificationAccessSettingsActivity.
maybe with Xposed? i tried with an app from play store but no luck

Thank you man. I also used the Nova Launcher Shortcut. Locate it by long tapping, selecting widgets, selecting Shortcut and then scrolling down to the Settings Activity Notification Access Option.
This method also allowed me to access "Apps with usage access" using the Settings$UsageAccessSettingsActivity. Thank you!
By the way, initially I was having issues adding widgets/shortcuts to the Nova Launcher homescreens. If anyone else is having this issue, it can be solved by installing/converting Nova Launcher to a System app. Apparently this grants it some additional otherwise inaccessible permissions by default. Cheers!

So I used the method of running minimalist buttons (black) and setting them up through Desktop Visulaizer and Astro file manager. I'm currently using LauncherPro Plus. The Phone and Message button goes directly to where there supposed to. The App button or "Widget drawer" does not, I have to have it set up as a "swipe to open" to have a functional App drawer. There was no opition for a "App drwaer launch" with using Desktop Visulaizer.
Does anybody have any idea on how to make this work where all I have to do is click the opition rather then having the swipe to launch?? Any help would be great.
I have provided a shot from using the Shoot Me App.
Thanks.
lwp - long press the app drawer, choose change icon, custom, yours....or am I missing something?
EDIT: Thank you PhoenixPath, I must have had a stupid spell, I took away the "app drawer" icon and replaced that...DUHHH, It has been fixed.

I use System Settings » Security » Privacy Guard quite often (cynaogenmod 11). So I would like to add a shortcut to that on my home screen. How do I do that?
(I would appreciate if there is a way to do this without a 3rd party app)
Download Launcher 3 from KitKat (CM11) ROM....this stock launcher has this as an inbuilt feature....
now i am on cyanogenmod 11. how do i add the Privacy Guard shortcut to my home screen?
not possible? is there at least an xposed module for this?
I Know this is old but it can be done know with app called quickshortcutmaker. Install through google play store, open and search for privacy. This will bring up a few setting process that can be created as shortcuts. You can also try the shortcut before creating so you know it will work. The correct process to create the shortcut is call $AppOpsSummaryActivity
For every app I install, a shortcut is automatically added to a home screen. It's not a huge deal since it takes a second to delete, but I'm curious if there's a way to prevent this happening and just have the shortcut in the app drawer? I cannot find anything in the settings to turn of the "feature".

why don't you check google play settings ? there is a checkbox for that (checked on by default)

Go to the Play Store -> Settings and uncheck Add icon to Home screen.
Duh... I totally forgot about the play settings! There I was looking in the phone/launcher settings. Thanks.
Notifications aren't showing on the WhatsApp icons.
Anyone else? A fix?
Is it just whatsapp or other apps too? Have you tried granting nova access to notifications in the "Notification access" menu? (additional settings/privacy/special app access/notification access)
Also you'll need to go into app settings for WhatsApp to enable "show app icon badges"
Yeah that's granted, all other badges work fine, struggling to find a reason..
Did you ever fix this? - I've just bought a mi9, and its the one thing bugging me. I just can't get the badges to work. I've tried everything, including instructions from Nova Customer Supprt - nothing works . . . . Thanks for any advice.
I have some duplicate apps showing in my drawer with a little briefcase due to my work profile being enabled. Is there a way to hide these in the app drawer?
Unfortunately no. You use to be able to in previous iterations of android before Oreo but not anymore...

On home screen. Press the screen to get home screen setting, @ bottom of that setting page u see option for Hide Apps.
I use Nova Launcher, will this still work?

For anyone looking for ways to hide work profile apps from the drawer, have a look at SRT Vault . Similar to Shelter or Island you can control the work profile. But more than that, a file transfer in and out and the disable/hide app functionality is provided. It's free and in active development.
