[Q] Question about Lollipop Popup Notifications

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.

Can't disable apps push notifications

Hi, does anyone know why I can't disable some apps notifications.
I already tried unchecking the checkbox in app info screen
And tried blocking app in app notifications screen.
And still some time later the notifications came up with a loud notification during midnight

Problem with Heads-Up notifications

Edit: think I discovered this is not just a note 8 issue, how do I delete this thread?
I'm not getting most heads up notifications on my T-Mobile Note 8. Notifications just appear in the notification drawer. I do get the sound/vibration though
Some apps are working reliably (hangouts, ring), others are not (outlook, inbox). Those are the easiest for me to test, so I haven't looked much into others.
I uninstalled pebble and android wear just in case those were interfering. I've rebooted a million times. Turned off everything with notification access just in case.
I turned off the edge light feature, just in case. No change. Also turned it on for everything, the screen doesn't edge light for outlook or inbox.
Any settings that might have been enabled/disabled accidentally?
also, tried resetting app preferences from advanced notification settings, no luck
Any thoughts?
edit: i'm seeing this in my logs but not entirely sure it's related
"09-28 13:57:55.567 1188-1188/? E/NotificationService: Suppressing notification from package by user request."
Also, tried disabling, then enabling those apps notifications

Wiped my phone and installed inbox and outlook, they still don't show notifications in a popup. they make their sound/vibe and appear in the drawer, but still dont show up as a headsup notification so I get no altert if If i have my phone on silent.

Gmail notification issues

Since the last update to Gmail (10 Jan 2018). The notifications for the app has totally gone. Does anyone have a fix or suggestion how to get around this. It is very annoying.

Do you mean the notification options in the Gmail apps settings have disappeared? Or that you don't get notifications any more?
If you look in phone Settings>Notifications, under Gmail, are the notifications turned on?

The latter. It is working as intended now after today's update.

Notification sound with no notification

I keep getting a notification sound at random intervals but there is no notification. I have tried disabling NFC and notification reminders per googles suggestions but that hasn't helped. I downloaded Notification Log History but it only shows actual notifications I am receiving not the ones I don't see. Any ideas?

I got those sounds until I turned off Notification Reminder.
You can have notifications turned on, but turn off the reminder.

Ok I finally figured it out. I had notifications disabled for 115 out of 132 of my apps through the settings menu. I went back, enabled all notifications to see what was going off all the time. Turns out I was getting numerous alerts from Tapatalk and Slickdeals. I went into both apps and disabled notifications through the actual app settings and my issues went away. Not sure why the apps override what I'm doing in the phone settings but they were. Hopefully in the future this helps others. In short, enable all apps in the phone settings and see what's notifying you. Go into those apps and disable notifications within the app.
