adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0 disabled all my notifications all together, not just the heads up, my phone is an Asus Zenfone 2 (ASUS_Z00AD) with all the patches up to July 1, 2016
[Android General] Amjad.AbdulGhani:
Can you please confirm that this method works in Android N, as its highly demanded..
[Android General] Amjad.AbdulGhani:
I can confirm that this worked on my LGv20 Android N, headsup blocked.. Cant be happier than that.. Thank you..
[Android General] schutzstaffel13:
is this method only disable the heads up notification

or can i still get the notification on the status bar?

and how to enable it again?
[Android General] stcardinal:
How do you reenable heads_up_notifications_enabled?

I tried: adb settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 1

but it still doesn't work
[Android General] Amjad.AbdulGhani:
You missed "shell" before settings

So

Adb shell settings put global heads_up........ 1

any way to get this working on a galaxy s8 ?
[Android General] luull:
first option worked for me, aparently.. zenfone 3 nougat 7.0
[Android General] nauticasmexico:
Hey, finally got the solution that works with the Galaxy S8!!

---------- Post added at 05:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 AM ----------

But I bet everybody knows it by now... anyway, if someone needs to know it's kinda easy though. Just gotta keep playing with the options. This way, you'll get sound, vibration and an icon on your locked up phone, but not the heads up banner, even if you've unlocked it and are either on the home, apps drawer pages or inside an app or game while using it. After you apply the solution, you need to restart or reboot the phone and that's it.

---------- Post added at 05:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 AM ----------

And as you all probably figure by now, the correct solution seems to be the one proposed by the great (to me anyway because he did it!) rostopira (post #9)! Thanks a lot! I was thinking on moving out to another phone until a solution came but now everything is cool... I know, I know, shouldn't despair and bail out so quickly but whaddayaknow maturity reaches us late in life!
[Android General] widget2k13:
hi, could you please explain the procedure to get it working ?

post number 9 solution needs your phone to be rooted so not much good on the s8 as far as i know ?

thank you
[Android General] nauticasmexico:
Thanks for asking widget2k13!

Yes of course, you need to be rooted already and as you may guess, yes there's already root and TWRP for the S8. As usual there's already several threads for it here on XDA so I won't go into those details but it's very straight forward and you should be done in about 2 minutes after you download the Magisk version, which comes already with root. Please remember to remove PIN before you do it and all the rest should go easy enough.
[Android General] widget2k13:
Thanks for the help but I was hoping for a fix without root, I've never had a rooted phone and don't want to void my warranty as I took out 2 year extended warranty, having a rooted phone will only benefit me for WhatsApp heads up and nothing else that I can think of.
[Android General] widget2k13:
hi, i managed to root my phones and install the app but i dont see the app anywhere on my phone ?

could you please tell me how to get it working as this was my only reason to root the phone

thank you
[Android General] nauticasmexico:
Thanks for asking! Actually you won't find the app anywhere, all it does is changing the heads up behavior but remember you need to restart or reboot your phone after you installed it.

So no, you won't need to do anything else, all the while assuming that you've already selected the proper notifications' options under both WhatsApp & Messages own settings.

First time I did it I thought nothing had changed but after I restarted the phone twice I realized it worked!

And it works at least with both Messages & WhatsApp, which were the 2 main concerns of mine at the moment. Now I get vibration, sound, an icon, a hidden banner but no pop-ups or flying banner as before and finally some privacy!
[Android General] widget2k13:
Damn, still not working for me, changed all the settings correctly and restarted phone loads of times, looks like I rooted for nothing lol

[Android General] angerscot:
ADB worked perfectly on Samsung Galaxy S7 Android 7.

Thanks!
[Android General] nauticasmexico:
Hello jaganXDA85! This has happened before to me and after several futile attempts, I've found out that the USB cable I was using was not the proper one, so try the one that came with your phone since it's the properly designed specifically for it or if you don't have it anymore, then try out another one that's originally made by the same manufacturer. If you can't find such, then you'll need to keep trying with different cables until you find one that's working.

If you have the original one and still doesn't work, then either the cable itself is broken (you'll be surprised but it does happen) or the connection to that particular port is faulty, either there's some oxidization happening within your cable's terminal or the one port in your computer; you can try it out in different ports if you have more than one.

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

Sorry to hear that widget2k13! But I can tell you that my S8 is working just fine so I'm pretty sure that this is the way to do it. Maybe there was a combination of everything I've tried; I remember that I did the ADB command lines, reboot it several times and didn't work. Then I did install the software I suggested before and after rebooting another 2 times it worked! Keep at it and eventually it'll happen, don't give up! This is a really wonderful phone and since I've started using the original Samsung case, I've solved the one fatal flaw I've found which is... wait for it, yep the fingerprint reader in the back! Now thanks to the special design on the case, there's a little bit of tracking between the camera opening and the reader, enough that I don't have to keep searching for it and if I can just wait half a second more it works almost 9 out of 10 times.

Just out of curiosity, is the System UI Tuner not available on non-Nexus/Pixel devices running Nougat?
[Android General] d3sentry:
Thanks you so much! My A5 2016 recently updated to Nougat, and they removed the "disabling pop up notifications", and I went crazy. Now I don't have anymore those ANNOYING pop up notifications. Again, thanks you!

[Android General] jordany_91:
Edit: i don't know if it's available on Samsung devices, i guess it is since it's a native android feature, tried it on my oneplus 3t (7.1.1) (oxygen os 4.1.6)

You can activate the system UI tuner in the settings menu by long pressing the cog-wheel (settings shortcut) from the drop down quick-settings, keep pressing until it redirects you to the settings main menu, and just above "about phone" option, you'll have a new option called system ui tuner.

Press system UI tuner>other>power notification controls (activate it) then go into apps>whatsapp>notifications and set the level to "level 3" (no full screen interruption or peeking) sound&vibration will keep on working
[Android General] RidenCT:
Hello. I own a Oneplus 3T and I usually play a certain game. But it happens that someone writing me on WhatsApp or Messenger makes me lose the match because of the Heds-Up notification.

Is there any way to remove Heads-Up notification just when i play that game? Some kind of switch allowing me to activate and deactivate them easily.

Thanks

[Android General] bzpwhx:
On S8 plus (not rooted) the only way to disable it ks to install System UI Tuner (adb needed), disactivate (for example) whatsapp notification (in settings/notification) and activate Power Notification feature on System UI Tuner. Now going back to whatsapp notification you must set level 3. Now on that app will not use head uo anymore
[Android General] c3k:
Did power notification control works on S8 plus??? On S8 once activated level slider is unresponsive! On LG G6 too... What I'm missing?
[Android General] jayochs:
this works awesomely, but heads up (no pun intended..) this breaks the ambient display on android 8 on the pixel. when I did this, I wasn't getting the screen to light up anymore whenever a notification came in. unfortunately, I had to re-enable it.

Hello, first of all thanks for the simple guide to disable those annoying heads up notifications.

Another annoying thing (for me at least) is that low battery blinking led, when the battery goes under 15%.

Is there a simple way to disable that?

My phone is rooted and I used the terminal method to disable the heads up notifications, maybe there is a simple command that might disable the low battery blinking led... Thanks!
[Android General] slim26:
I had success with modifying this xml file in Root Explorer:

to be 0 and rebooted.

[Android General] marci4na:
Is this working on note 8?

Im getting mad trying to stop those notifications!!!

Thanks
[Android General] shriganesh:
Many many thanks!!!! There was an option in Android 6.0 to disable heads-up notifications. But after I upgraded to Android 7.0, it became SUPER F*CKING irritating. Whatsapp was continuously ruining by video/picture watching experience. Couldn't watch 1 video in peace.

Was so annoyed that I'd completely disabled Whatsapp notification. But this lead to my friends complaining that I wasn't looking at Whatsapp at all. So for a middle ground, I was searching to disable the annoying sh*t. Thank you once again!

I used the computer ADB method. The HeadsOff app isn't working. Although it's a neat feature, it should be used ONLY for SMS apps. Thankfully I use TEXTRA which gives me the opportunity to give separate pop-up instead of using the heads-up notification SDK.

I know right??? In MM, it was possible to disable heads-up for specific apps. In Nougat they completely disabled to ability to enable or disable heads-up notifications.

I really wanted to use that app but my Note 8 isn't rooted. If I root loose my most important feature, Samsung Pay :(

Not true, or poorly worded on your part since you didn't quote anyone (if you were specifically talking about an individual apk). The adb command worked fine for my S8+, unrooted.
[Android General] CVonV:
I'm on MM and tried the Terminal Emulator method but it didn't work. Neither did HeadsOFF.

I also tried this, rebooted and checked the XML file. It has "0" in it but the heads up notifications are still going on :(

How to reverse

Hey bro

I used the first method (adb). apparently successfully. However, i am also experiencing a collateral damage - my stock SMS app (Messaging) does no more show any notifications at all. I don't know whether the method 1 of tinkering caused it, or it is due to some other app conflicting with this process. Whatever be it, but i want to reverse this process now. I am a total non-techie and was doing it out of curiosity, but it doesn't seem to work out for me.

Can you guide me how to reverse the process and restore the original status? Kindly help a non-techie, like me. Thanks in advance.
[Android General] 1edson:
Hi, mnbvcxzaq1

To reenable the Heads-Up notification, just follow the same procedures described on the first method you used, but change the 0 to 1 in the last command.

It should then look like this:

adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 1
[Android General] 1edson:
It should work. If it doesn't, please let me know.
[Android General] buffal0b1ll:
It works with pie, but just like on Oreo, it will also disable screen off Ambient Notifications.

I use a Tasker profile to disable heads up while screen is on, but reanable heads up when screen is off. This way I still get Ambient Notifications when screen is off.

An app SystemUi Tuner does have function to disable heads up notifications .. But you must have root access to run this app ..

There's the option to change it.

For example on the Samsung Message app:

Go to notification settings, tap in "General Notifications" (tap on the letters, don´t tap the toggle switch) and then you would find the option "Show as pop-up".

You have to do it individually for each app, in FB messenger and Whatsapp is a little different, but you would find "show as pop-up" by tapping in the letters in each option in the notification settings.

Hope this help!
