Hi,
since kitkat (4.4.x) there is a notification for upcoming alarms 2 hours before the alarm time (a second alarm clock sign on the left top of screen)
I dont need this notification at all and its annoyin because this alarm sign looks almost like e.g. a whatsapp notification.
Is there a way to permanently disable this feature?
thx
nobody else annoyed or has an idea?
No way mate. I don't understand why there's not a xposed mod yet to remove that:laugh: Make your request here, maybe some dev is interested

Yes, I dislike it too. I searched everywhere for a way to disable it, but I never found a solution...

Hi,
Although many users found this new KitKat feature useful, I found it annoying: I don't need to have an Upcoming Alarm Notification to remind me that there's going to be a real alarm in the future. Fyi, I'm running CM11 20141124 Snapshot on a Galaxy S4. Here's the fix:
Next time you get one of these Notifications, go into Notifications and long press on the Upcoming Alarm entry (note that the long press might have been on "Dismiss now"). You will then get a prompt to disable notifications for this type of notification.
I'll appreciate if you will please reply with the exact long press location.
Also - If someone knows how/where this can be toggled back on, I would appreciate that info.
Regards . . .
BretAB
P.S. As noted elsewhere on the web, if you don't want to see the little alarm clock icon the you see on the right side of the Status Bar (recall that I'm running CM11 20141124), go into Clock, click on the hamburger that's on the lower right hand side, choose Settings, and disable Show Icon. This seems to override the "Show Notifications" that is enabled by default in Apps | All | Clock | "Show notifications" checkbox (or maybe that "Show notifications" checkbox at this location is for something else?) .
Hi and welcome to the board,
I'm a little confused with ur post. See my questions below the quotes of ur post here:

first of all, to understand ur post: is this a quote from somewhere else?
Second: disabling the notifications in the app settings works BUT it also disables the way to snooze or stop the alarm from lockscreen - so, not very helpfull/usefull?!
I'll appreciate if you will please reply with the exact long press location.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so thats actually the question of u?
answer: there are two ways to get there:
1)
unlock ur phone, (an alarm in the next 2 hours must be active) scroll down notification bar (wiping from top of phone to bottom) and long press on the alarm notification and choose "App-Details" in upcoming popup
2)
unlock ur phone, open the settings (the generall android settings), go to "apps", than the overview for "all apps", there should be "clock" or "deskclock" for me its "Uhr"
there u can disable amd enable it
so its also the answer to ur next question, i guess?! (see below)
Also - If someone knows how/where this can be toggled back on, I would appreciate that info.

It is 2017 now and the annoyance continues!
Hello I have lots of questions
1) is there a way to make active display or tap to wake up phone?
2) on my previous phone if I clicked on the volume key button the phone would turn on?- can I do it on here?
3) there are many more apps like contextual services and lots of other Motorola apps. Which are safe to disable?
4) is there a way to block OTA updates?
5) when you swipe down using two fingers you get the notification pull menus. But when I click the wifi button it opens the settings app and goes to wifi. Can't I edit it so it goes DIRECTLYY to. Toggle wifi?
6) pin on lock screen - on my old phones when I input my pin it unlockes. This is so stupid and takes more longer after inputtingmy pin. I then have to click enter? How do I automate that
1) You can use AcDisplay. You can't tap to wake the phone, a custom kernel would be required for that.
2) Not by default.
3) I leave Assist, Alert, Audio effects, Help and Migrate disabled. I don't know about the rest, but those are safe.
4) Just don't install them. I don't know if you can disable the alerts though.
5) Hold the wifi button . Works with other settings as well, try it out.
6) Well, you could try using an app that replaces your lockscreen which has this feature, such as the Home Screen Lock of Smart App Lock. By default you can't though.
Hope I helped.

I assume you are using Lollipop. The wifi-icon and the SSID are two seperate buttons. Tapping the icon switches wifi on/off. Tap on the SSID and it will take you to settings
I've found that long-pressing the wifi button will toggle it on and off.

How launch app when screen is off and security lock? (I want the radio to wake me up) I try: 1. Secure settings --> Configuration:Screen & Keyboard Light On (10sek) 2. Wait 1sek 3. Show Scene --> Name: Popup ,Display As: Activity 4. launch App: "(in my case is "eskaGO" This task try launch this app but can't launch to the end. When Task is end nothing happened. But when I manually unlock screen and see what app work in background I see this app. It's look like this task try launche app but can't launch it to the end.
I try too with AutoLunch but is this same.
Can anybody help??
Can you use Smartlock to prevent your device from locking at home?

This not solves the problem. I don't need this only in home. I a lot travelling.
I try with secureTask plugin with off and on keyguard but this disable all securelock.
Well it sounds like the app just can't launch over the keyguard, so the task can't complete till the phone is unlocked. If you're comfortable with it, you can change the timeout (time it takes for the lock to be activated) to a really high number before you go to sleep, then after the app wakes you up, have it changed back to normal.
Thanks for solution but this not solve the problem. In Your idea every day before I go to sleep (when I activate alarm) I should count how many time screen should be unlock. I not everyday wake on this same time or it's time when I stay 1-2 weeks in this same place and wake up every day in this same time.
Every time when I set alarm I must count and set unlock screen Is not good idea.
Maybe somone else have Idea how to launch it?

which counting are you talking about? I think he meant setting the grace time of lock screen to something like 7*24 hours, that way even if screen is off, you don't really engage the lock.
This could be a security drawback and might affect your Moto display/Samsung Always screen on function if you have them.
OK maybe I something wrong understand.
Maybe You can write how I should configure this task? It will be very helpful to me
Now in task profile I set time to start and end my alarm task.

When the screen is turned off, it takes time to activate the keyguard/lock. Usually it's set to 1 second or less, so as soon as the display is off, the lockscreen is on. This can be changed (and in fact this is what Smart Lock does) so it won't activate as fast. Smart lock won't work in your conditions, so we can use Tasker plugins.
You need to get the plugin Secure Task if you are not rooted, Secure Settings if you are. Secure Task needs permissions granted in ADB, but the Help will explain the process.
Once you have it working, you can add the "secure settings" action for lockscreen timeout (see screenshots, it may be called something different on your device.)
There's a read action as well as write, you should read the initial value before changing it, save it, and restore it after the alarm goes off.
(In the Secure Settings plugin it's called Device Settings but other than that similar.)
Thanks for this
Now I undarstand that:
I have other profile where is task what will launch my app and where I set time to start this profile.
If I want that profile work - app launch correctly - I must before I go sleep launch other task (this what You wrote) what don't secure lock my screen.
Right? Did I understood correctly?
Yes, if you have a sleep profile, or if not, set it to activate at 2230 or whenever your bedtime is. The task will simply be Secure Task - secure settings - Read secure lockscreen_timeout (or whatever your device shows), so you can have a global variable of the typical timeout. Then Write secure lockscreen_timeout 99999999, as I posted in the screen shots.
And then have your wake up task activate at 7 or whenever, and then redo the lock timeout to the saved variable.
Ok,
But for example:
1. If I set this task to start 23:30 but since 23:10 i will not touch my phone this not work because screen still wil be secure lock ?
2. If I set this task to start earlier for ex. 21:00. On this time my phone is not protect if some one stole it and any one who get my phone will be have full access. Not always in this same time I will in the home.
Idea to solve my problem is good maybe someone else will need it.
For me is not good
It's not solve my problem
Maybe somone else have any idea how I can launch app when screen is secure lock

I don't know what happened because to March everything working in my phone. In March I musted do factory reset and launch app in secure screen stoped working ;/
Earlier I use to tasker autoinput plugin and was working , now it write that autoinput can't unlock screen :|
So maybe something was changed/app had update and to launch app in secure screen now is other plugin
hmm that's weird. You must have done/changed something. I don't think any app, especially Tasker has changed anything since then.

I know that that is weird. But I don't know what happened because I done nothing special. Just made a task and profile and that was working. Earlier when I changed Rom and restore task everthing work good. Now stop working and I dont know why :|
Better... When this stop working I had try allone and try searching solution.
I made task like this:
1. Secure Settings - Configuration: Screen & Keyboard Light 10sek
2. Status Bar Set Expanded
3. Launch App: eskaGO
4. Wait 10 sek
5. Autoinput Action - Configuration Type: Text Value: Tasker
6. Autoinput Global Action - Configuration Action: Home
And this WORKED! it worked but every second time. Exactly the second time.
Because I thinked that is problem with my phone I made factory reset one more time and this it stopped working completely.
So I don't want belive that so powerful app like Tasker where is so much plugin and a lot of people who very good know this aplication that no one find solution for this.
Sorry I still don't understand your explanation...
If I have it right, you are trying to make an alarm clock out of the radio app.
Here is what I did to implement this idea:
trigger:
- display off
task:
launch app: notepad
alert: beep
result:
as soon as the screen turns off, I heard the beep. When I turned on the screen, I saw notepad app in the foreground.
requirement:
you will need to add something to trigger this during screen off. That extra condition should not turn on the screen. If it does, you should re-consider this whole condition.
The fact that notepad is running in foreground after unlocking means that the task was carried out as intended. If you can run the radio app, the playing should be turned on automatically the moment the app starts, or error you will have radio app running without actually doing anything.
if all these fail, please post a screenshot of your profile, task and log.
good luck!
How about using Appcloner for this? You clone the app and give it the capability to run on to of the lock screen. That's it. Good luck.

Sure. Under display options, then choose " show app on lock screen".
Hello, I've just started to learn to use tasker and I can't set the task I'd like.
The idea is the same as this tutorial:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/how-to/alwaysondisplay-aod-substitue-missing-t3698336
So when you receive a notificacion of the selected apps, AOD turns on, and when you delete the notificacion, AOD turns off. So it wil save a lot of battery compared to AOD always active
I hope some more experienced user can make it work, as I'm totally lost right now.
Thanks!
Anyone, please? Thanks in advance

Well, all you need is to download the two xml files to your device. I'm using Opera, so I chose download link option, that ended up downloading the xml file. Grant tasker all necessary permissions in 3 dots, more, Android settings. Otherwise, Tasker won't work properly. Tap on 'tasks' tab twice, and select import. Do this for the two attached files. Then create a profile according to guide in given link, choose one or multiple apps at once, when you press back Tasker will ask you associated task, select correct task. Repeat another profile. Toggles both profiles if it has not already, then tap check mark on top of Tasker app. You are then, good to go. I'm not an expert by any mean, just one step from labelled a complete noob, I just love to try new things so in case any further things to clear up just keep this conversation going.

There is an app mentioned in the post, which is AOD edge https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.used.aoe, I also gave it a try and it also worked nicely and beautifully when properly configured. You might wanna give it a try to avoid all the complication. Just remember to scroll all the way down to save your settings. It's free.

Actually what doesn't work for me is the tasks to turn on AOD. I've followed the steps and they just don't work. I previously had a LG G6 in which it worked flawlessly, and I thought that they need to be adapted to Galaxy note 8 firmware. But since you said it's working for you, I am confused.
Everything on my side is correctly set (permissions and so) but the tasks doesn't work, not even turning them on manually
I'm going to send you screenshots of profiles and tasks later on. In the meantime, try the following :
1. Exclude tasker from battery optimization
2. Turn AOD on, go to lock screen, check if aod works. Then turn it off, it should be off for this profiles to work. Remember aod will disappear if unread notif has been read.

To my understanding, the task is basically similar which differentiate by value, '1' for aod_on and '0' for aod_off.
You can find the screenshot of my profile below, with a few chosen apps corresponding to aod task. The two profile seems to be identical visually but they actually cover different event as mentioned in above guide.

Yes, I knew that. But the task seems to do nothing on Samsung devices. Maybe it needs to be rewritten.
Can you confirm you have a Samsung Galaxy and it's working for you?
My Huawei P30 Pro android 10 - Emui 12.0 - in stock, for two months, every morning, between 05.00 and 06.00, - despite the "Do not disturb" setting being activated on time
(activation / deactivation times checked several times) wakes me up with a damn banner-free notification that would identify the app responsible for the notification.
So it's not easy to identify and deactivate the responsible app out of the 100 installed - unless you do a hard reset and two days to reset.
Obviously it's not the alarm clock.
I uninstalled the 3/4 apps that I thought might be responsible without success, and tried to use logcat - but I was unable to set the filters to isolate the problem.
I would be grateful for a suggestion. . . Please . . .
Go into the settings of each app and check which ones allow notifications. There are apps that will filter this out for you. Until you do this, you can change the notification to "no sound".

Thank you for your answer,
I'm not sure I understand your suggestion, because I've already done what you suggest, checking the 100 apps installed one by one.
Perhaps due to my mistake in interpreting the settings, or due to inattention I have not found any app with notification settings different from the others ....
There are many apps with active sound notifications: most of them. It is not easy to understand which app is responsible.
Could you explain better, please?
For example
Notification Blocker & Cleaner - Apps on Google Play
Keep the notification bar neat and clean
play.google.com
or
Notification History Log - Apps on Google Play
Notification History Log is the powerful notification tracker! Restore messages!

I confirm, it is a notification without a banner! So there is nothing to deactivate.
I'll try the Notification History Log suggested by @ze7zez - Thanks!
I am amazed and curious to receive notifications at times when the "do not disturb mode" is active.
Setting that I deactivated and reactivated for the occasion, hoping to resolve, unfortunately without success.
These days since my last post I have been doing a lot of research on the phone without discovering anything. The last operation I did in the notification settings, was the deactivation FOR ALL apps of the sound notification and the definitive uninstallation of Blokada which has a permanent notification without time (maybe the updates of the db?), and it seemed to me to have solved.
Since the sound notification of my bank's app is important and necessary, yesterday I reactivated it. Punctually this morning at 07:30 - on "do not disturb" time - I received a sound notification from the bank. So it seems that the responsibility of the sound notifications within the "do not disturb" range is precisely of the "Do not disturb mode" which perhaps does not work as it should ....
thanks to the app recommended by @ze7zez (Notification history log) I discovered the app or rather the apps that generate night sound notifications, despite the "Do not disturb" mode active.
Eg. tonight at 02:10 I got a notification from Gmail.
So the flaw is not in the apps, but in the "Do Not Disturb" mode which no longer works. Now I have to figure out if I can restore the correct functioning, or if I have to disable the audio notification for each app.
