It should be able to, unless they are using Live Update [0] notifications. [0] https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/notifications...

You're very kind, thank you!

The starting point is a notification from an app that you want to create a rule for. So you wait for a notification, then click on it in the "History" tab, and then you can configu…

This isn't really a commercial project, so not much of that applies.

A month ago, I submitted my app "DoNotNotify" to control Android notifications on Show HN [0], and it trended on the front page for a day. I was happy, but the most upvoted comment…

It does have rules for about 25 common apps already built in. I had considered making a feature to 'share' rules with other users of the app, but that would've required Internet ac…

The app requires a very specific permission for this, which it asks for on first launch. It's not even just a popup on which you can tap "Ok" - Android will take you to a special s…

iOS doesn't give developers access to other apps' notifications, AFAIK. I'm not an iOS developer though - maybe someone with more knowledge can chime in.

> Have you thought about adding ML-based classification for notifications that are harder to catch with patterns? Honestly that's a little out my league. The idea did occur to me, …

Fair enough, you only have my word on it (that it doesn't send any data to the Internet). But you do have my word :) Another person requested that the app be open-sourced as well. …

That's a great suggestion. Perhaps in the next version!

Thanks for the heads up! Will take a look at it.

Yes, it requires a special permission, which the app asks for when it is first launched. Thankfully no other permissions are required.

Honestly I did not know about Buzzkill. I suppose the big differentiator is that DoNotNotify is absolutely free.

Personally it just grates me when my notifications stack up (even if I wasn't disturbed when the notifications came in). My philosophy is - I should be able to control what I see, …

You're welcome, friend!

> I've been happy with the solution of switching off notifications from apps that interrupt me with promotions - one strike and they're out. I have exactly the same policy. But in …

Can you share a screenshot of the notification, and the rule that you created for it at aj@donotnotify.com please? Also, do note that if it is a persistent notification[1] then the…

Why - I got sick of apps abusing notifications on my Android phone. While the OS does give you the ability to switch off notifications based on channels, most apps either don't use…

I think it is safe for me say that HN has had a very large role in moulding my personality. A left-leaning atheist who loves computing and is often at odds with the current zeitgei…

You're probably thinking of the formal definition of a "bath", as in sitting in a tub of water. Over here in India, bathing and taking a shower mean the same thing.

> cheap oil, though. I doubt it will offset the effects of reduced exports to the US but it usually has a positive effect on the economy. And a terrible effect on the environment. …

I just spent the last few weeks figuring out how to solve this problem for myself after running out of space on my free Google plan, so here goes.. I do have a NAS at home, so I wa…
