HeadsOff (Android 5.0) for Android
Edit: celebrated too soon. Doesn't seem to work. Still get the heads up display. It only works sometimes. Will check with dev and get back. /edit. Thank you! Thank you! My note 4 was forced in the lollipop update and the forced heads up notifications bugged me so much! This makes it so much better.
switched off annoying whatsap notification. but unfortunately, not all apps can work. some apps's still pop up notification. hope to hear from you soon on tips and tricks to overcome this matter. ty. good efforts by devs. considering in buying the pro version soon.
I don't know what critiques are people talking about... On my phone this app works awesome... I love it.. the phone ticker is deactivated so that it doesn't come as ticker when a call comes and we have to scroll down the notification bar to receive it... Everything works perfectly for me.. Thanks Dev ????
this app made no longer dispise my phones interruptions.. what a rediculously dumb idea heads up notifications are.. but I guess thats why there are instructions on shampoo.. for those types.
Those heads-up notifications were driving me nuts, you're in middle of doing other things on your phone and get a constant barrage of notifications everytime you get a text ! Finally they've gone :D Very pleased and well done.. UPDATE... Unfortunately recently the app keeps stopping for no apparent reason. I have to keep starting it again. Now becoming annoying
I can't even test drive it or disable any apps unless I buy the pro version. It won't let me do anything at all. How would I know it's what I need without buying it first?! Stupid.
It used to work on my note 3 and now i got an A5(2017) and i don't know if it's the phone or the app just stopped working in general but it is not doing anything now.. so i will have to uninstall it and hope to find a another alternative :(
It works fine for me. One problem: It keeps deactivating by itself. And its super annoying to keep activating it! If that could be fixed, then this'll get a 5 star rating.
This works for Nougat when I switch on "custom ticker", but on Samsung Galaxy Note 8 the position of the ticker is wrong (instead of being whether the notification bar should be, it's a bit lower). It will be great if this can be fixed.
Thank you so much guys! Android's retarded notification popups since lollipop, and the very very lousy notification options have been doing my head in for ages. You app does what it says it does and I hope to enjoy it for a long time to come :)
This app was great in lollipop, but not in marshmallow. It is sorely needed in M! In M you can disable heads-up (peeking) in android notification settings but it's each app, not global. AND as soon as the app (let's say Snapchat) updates, it turns peeking back in by itself! Annoying.
It used to work all the time, but not at all since the 5.1.1 lollipop update on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4. What's up with the devs? I haven't seen 1 response to any of the reviews! What a sin! This WAS an awesome app, not anymore. If you tell us how to fix it, then I will reinstall. Wow, this really sucks!
DOA on Marshmallow (6.0.1) on my Nexus 5. I so wanted this app to work. It didn't. Joined the community to gain access to the beta (2.51, instead of the default 2.50). That did not help. Tried checking and unchecking every checkbox in app's Settings. That didn't work either. Tried setting app to "No Peeking" in phone Settings/Sound/Notifications, that stopped the pop-up notifications but also stopped ALL text from appearing, defeating the ticker feature. Unfortunately, this app needs more work in order to function properly in Marshmallow. Sure hope they can fix it! I would love to restore the classic Android ticker.
With the new lollipop version of android, you cant watch a video or play a game without being interrupted by an annoying pop up from message. Either that or completely disable notifications ( no sound no status bar, nothing) this app fixes that :)
Earlier it was working but now after updating it is not even though after going through all the instructions. What is the use of such crap then. Total waste.... Fix it for Samsung note 3 so that I can give 5 stars
I'm using a full screen dialer but still had the pop up from the pre installed dialer. It worked fine on a Lenovo A5000 with lollipop and Elephone P9000 Marshmallow. On a Lenovo vibe p1m however I can not get rid of the dialer pop up.
This makes Android useful again. When using my phone I would often accidentally tap a notification because it would be covering a UI element, now I can glance at the ticker and ignore or act accordingly. Google should consider upgrading Android with this superior functionality as standard XD
I can't even test drive it or disable any apps unless I buy the pro version. It won't let me do anything at all. How would I know it's what I need without buying it first?! Stupid.
It works gud initially bt stops working aftr a couple of days widout any apparent reason. I ve stopped nd started it again uninstalled nd installed agn bt still not working. Ths app is really helpful plz make it work.
Notifications annoyed me when I watched videos before and this app solved that with no annoying ads whatsoever. Maybe it could be lighter but what do I know, I'm not a programmer. Thanks!
LITERALLY the first app I download. I don't know what the hell is up with the Android team for not creating a simple option to disable Heads Up notifications yet. The most dated and intrusive feature on Lollipop. Thank you.
I love this app. The onley problom i have. After updating to 5.1.1 from 5.0.1 the app disables it self afte a certain period of activity. This is causing probloms. I would goce it 5 stars in a heart beat if you could fix it. Thank you for you work
Didn't stop the pop up notifications on my Gmail accounts, so I get 100 pop ups per day. Don't waste your money, rather complain about lollipop which SUCKS!!
App started to disable every 3 days and each time it does, I need to reinstall it. I was going to buy the Pro version but I don't want to chance it if it malfunctions over and over again.
For fixing the worst feature of Lollipop that devs like WhatsApp are too lazy to fix themselves. The app works great. My life is less annoyed.
Would have given 5 stars but it used to work excellently on my s6 til I upgraded to android 6.0.1. Now it doesn't work at all. Please fix this issue, lollipop heads are annoying.
It just won't work. It is on, i tried to put it in memory, ticker on and off, every non-pro feature, but there is absolutely no effect (for whatsapp). Please fix it, i really like the idea
Thought it was odd that all the messages popped up with a preview on my new phone with Lollipop OS. It was really annoying. This app is great at helping. At firat is shut down on its on and had to start it up again. But its been good so far.
It works fine for me. One problem: It keeps deactivating by itself. And its super annoying to keep activating it! If that could be fixed, then this'll get a 5 star rating.
I'm very annoyed by the constant popping up at notification bar of Whatsapp (in app setting No pop up). This solve it nicely. It works very well so that I purchased the Pro version too. Well down.

It's a really great app to get rid of that annoying banner (that should have an option to switch off....damn you google android). But sometimes the apl fails and you have to switch off and on again. I really do suggest you use this app. It's great.
Those heads-up are very annoying... I hated lollipop from them... But this app makes me happy... Thought now on Marshmallow I don't see what tgis app can offer more...
Used to stop all heads up bubbles, but now seems to work about 50% of the time. Very annoying, obviously.
Works great for Lollipop... But in case you have Marshmallow or later it became obsolete... For Android 6.0+ 1. Go to settings > apps 2. Choose the app you want to disable Heads Up notifications 3. Press Notifications 4. Uncheck "Allow Peeking"
Finally, i can disable my annoying head up notification. What a rubbish feature from android!!
It was a great app before, but now it disable it self every day or so and I have to re-enable it manually!! It is really frustrating
It drain battery so freakin fast, no joke. Hope your team can optimize this app some more. I'd like to give 5star but 3 for now until battery drain problem is fixed. Thank you.
Upon restarting on pre-Marshmallow, the app would need to be manually restarted. Now, on my S7 - it doesn't work at all. Emailed developer and got palmed off to an inactive Google+ group. Disappointing.

Why do I have to first start this and then click it to turn it on? It could run automatically! I wouldn't pay a cent for the pro until the app starts stopping HeadsUps notifies automatically, especially after a reboot. Should be possible at least with root, and possibly without too.
