[Q] How to turn off Flipboard notifications? - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do you turn off Flipboard notifications? I'm tired of this app spamming me every day, I've tried going into the app going to profile, hitting the settings icon and then going to Push Notifications and unchecking all of the boxes but its still sending me the notifications!
Thanks.

Block it with debloater

Goto tablet settings, apps, find flipboard and turn off notifications, simple ☺

Same issue here. Turning off push notifications does not do the trick. Pissing me off, tell you what.

That's the problem, I use it daily, just hate the notifications. I have everything unchecked in settings and still they notify me. Ugh.

If the app is running in background you still get notifications, even with it disabled in settings, only way to stop it is to open recent apps and clear flipboard once youve stopped using it, this seems to happen with alot of apps, i get the same thing with news republic app

Android allowing notifications
The Blocking Mode on Galaxy devices lets you disable the entire notifications on your device, But how to disable notifications on Android for selected apps? follow the instruction to specify which application is allowed to show notifications on the status bar:
1. Open Settings and go to Application Manager (or Apps on some devices)
2. Now you should see the list of installed applications on your device
3. Tap the application you would like to disable notifications
4. Make sure "Show Notifications" is not checked
androidwidgetcenter.com/android-tips/how-to-disable-notifications-on-android-for-selected-apps/
I also cleared data and signed out - some who still use FB may not want to go this far.

I'm so proud of myself. Some months ago, I started searching the Internet to find out how to end those annoying Flipboard notifications. Today, I was out searching, again. Somehow, I accidentally discovered the answer. And you'll flip when you read my solution! (Definitely, no pun intended. )
To disable Flipboard:
1. Go to your notifications.
2. Find a recent Flipboard notification item and touch and hold the notification item.
This action should take you directly to the app's notifications settings. At the very top is the option to disable Flipboard's notifications.
This worked in my Sansung Galaxy S7, but I see no reason it shouldn't work for other devices/users who are disgusted with the annoyance.

Push notifications

I have the most annoying issue with my non rooted stock tmobile note 3. I disable notifications within games and apps and such plus I also go to app info and uncheck the box "show notifications" but some how they still keep coming back!! Then I look in app info and the "show notifications" is checked again it's like it will only save those settings for awhile. I am wondering is it because I moved some apps to the SD card and those settings don't save? It's a bad situation cause I have to keep my vibration and ringer off otherwise it will wake me up at night! Is it after I update an app that the settings go back to default? Is it an android OS issue or a note 3 issue? I also used every antivirus and spam checker app out there and comes back clean. Anyone else have this issue?
Root it like a man.
I see no use in rooting I don't mind touch wiz besides even if I did root it still doesn't solve my push notification holding the settings problem

Push notifications not working

Is anyone experiencing push notifications not working? I'm not getting any notifications such as YouTube, Amazon, etc...I set the apps to battery not optimized thinking that would work. I don't know if messenger work with sms as I've been using another phone as my daily driver. What could be wrong? Thanks.

If your talking about something that the phone post to light up when you get some kind of notification, i don't get it either, that can be a bug with Asus, so you may need to bring it up to them when you can (Zentalk website). There is a work around for it, if you look for Screen Notification on google play, that should hopefully help with your problem.

No, I'm not getting the notification at all. Let's say there's a new video on YouTube for someone I subscribe to, I'm not getting the notification that it even happened, yet I have notifications on. For instance with Amazon, when an item is shipped, a notification is "pushed" to the device saying the item has shipped. All these notifications would be located in the top left just don't come. My settings have notifications active so I'm not getting what's wrong.
Could you have enabled dnd mode by accident? Or silent hours? Or blocked the notifications (settings -> apps -> notifications in specific app)?
No issues with GCM, push notifications or regular notifications whatsoever here.

Do not disturb mode is off and the specific apps have notifications turned on. The only push notifications that work so far is Yahoo mail.
I figured it out. It was the auto start manager that was preventing the notifications.

Determine app that causes notifications

There are several notifications that are annoying to say the least.
We have a lot of control to handle app notifications that appear, but this is a system notification it seems, I can't identify what system feature is triggering the alert, then of course disabling it.
Running the Oreo Beta on a fresh install.
One of the notifications is: "blah blah app is using the battery, select for more details..." or something to that affect. It is a Android system notification, but I can't figure out what triggers that one and how to disable it.
Example, Life 360 app running in the background all the time, the alert will randomly show in the notification bar. Just swiping down and looking at it often makes it go away, I don't select it, or I just clear the alerts with the bars at the bottom.
Thanks
Go to Google Play and search for an app called "Hide 'running in the background' Notification" by iboalali.
Awesome. Thanks

Anyone having a problem with alerts not showing on the Max 3?

I'm not getting the red dot appearing on any apps.
So the texting app has (on all other handsets) shown a red dot in the corner when there's an unread text. That's not happening here?
I've moved from MIUI to Nova launcher and still the same? Nothing on the built in messaging app or any other texting app?
I am getting a sound alert on incoming texts and emails, but nothing else. So I have to go and look in both the email and text apps to see if anything new is there!
Only had the phone 2 days so could be missing something??
It's the global version running MIUI version 9.6.6.0. Its the 4/65 model.
Thanks for any help...
You have to do three things in the app info section of each app you want notifications for:
1) Hold the app (Nova Launcher allows this), click app info. Turn on Auto Start.
2) Then, go to battery optimization below it and click no restrictions.
3) Then, go to notifications in the same area, customize with led notification, vibrate etc.
4) If the above three still don't allow it to work, then you must also lock the app in recents (lower right menu button), hold the app and lock it.

How to stop Mobile Manager from killing apps and not receiving notifications

Hi guys,
One of the features i like about ASUS phones is the ability to control apps through the app Mobile manger but the problem with it is that it takes a while to know how to use it. So what ends up happening is that a lot of your apps notifications gets delayed or never show up or your apps are killed when your phone screen turns off or your VPN is killed when you clear it from the recent apps menu.
Solution:
Open the Mobile Manager app:
-Head to Memory Cleaner section
-Go to "Super Clean mode is turned on" Setup - click it
here you can turn off the option for all apps or deselect the apps you don't want to be killed when you clear the apps from the recent menu, once the app is deselected from the App list it will appear under the headline "Standard Clean the following apps".
-Next after deselecting the apps go back to the PowerMaster section in Mobile Manger/ then Auto-start manger /
Here make sure that All apps button is turned green then under the section "Allowed" make sure to select the apps you want to auto start so that you can receive their notifications. Deselect the apps you don't want to auto start.
-Finally go to the settings page /under Battery section / detect battery-draining apps:
unselect "Detect & stop" button.
-Go back to: Battery optimization section:
make all the social apps and apps you want to receive their notifications on time turned to : "Not optimized".
After this your apps shouldn't be killed even after you clear them from the recent menu, and you will receive your notifications on time.
Good Luck
Apparently it's not working for Spotify

Are you sure you followed the steps stated. Personally i don't use Spotify so i am not sure if it works or not. So far I have no issues with apps I want to receive notifications from and ones I don't want to receive. If nothing works try to disable super clean mode and auto start apps and make sure battery optimization is not on for Spotify.
Really helpful post. I once tried to figure out the way to receive email notification and this just works. Thank you
thanks a lot buddy! i was having notification issues for some of the apps and its solved now! I had done most of the changes already but the Super clean mode was still on and causing issues. All good now.

Its not an app. Go to Settings > Advanced and you will see Mobile Manager as the first option under Assistive Tools.
