since quite a while I get an annoying notification from Glympse about "Smart Device Link". As I am not aware of using that feature, I would like to get rid of the notification.
My search through google brought up a similar issue with accuweather about 3 years ago. Accuweather seems to have solved the issue via an update. But I cannot find any information about this notification related to Glympse.
One option would be to switch off the notification for Glympse. Unfortunately Glympse only has one setting for the notification. So deactivating that would deactivate all Glympse notifications and not just the one about the Smart Device Link.
Reaching out to Glympse for App related issues does not seem possible. On their community page they point to stackoverflow. And thus I am here.
What are my best options to get rid of the "Smart Device Link" notification?
By the way: I am using a Samsung Note 9 runnung Android 10.
Same problem. SmartDeviceLink is always looking for a bluetooth connection even when Glympse is not launched, since almost 2 years.
I wrote to Glympse and after 2 months waiting I got an answer :
"You can remove SmartDeviceLink trough Ford"
No more explanation. I don't have a Ford :(

all day I already despair of a waking up system for my VoIP app. I must have already read over 100 articles and documentation about it, however I have not found a solution that works for me.
Use case:
My app is running in the background. That means the home button was pressed
after my app was started and the device is in the home screen. As soon as a notification arrives, the app is supposed to open again on a certain route because a call is coming in.
In the lock screen I managed this pretty easily with flutter_local_notifications and within the app it was of course no problem either.
Note:
Only Android is important, the rest can be neglected
Android version 10+
Flutter version 2+
I appreciate any input on how to solve my problem and have a good week.
Kind regards,
Shiro
I have created a mini App that helps me playing with beacons.
-what i have done so far-
So until now, I have successfully connected my App to the beacon, made 2 texts, so when I'm in the app and get in the beacon's range, the texts are changing so I can see that, move 2m away or turning the beacon upside down so it simulates Out of range, and it will show the message that I'm not in the range anymore.
So far so good, I have also successfully made the app to show notifications when I get close to the beacon, and when I click the notification to open a second activity.
-the problem-
Now, I want to show a notification when I get in the beacon's range, and the app is closed (not in the background). And after, when I click on that Notification to open my app / open App Google Play's Page if not installed.
I have searched on the internet but I haven't found anything conclusive.
If you guys know anything, or have you accomplished this task, it would be great if you can help with it.
If you need more info like, my activities code I can upload it, but I considered unimportant.
Thanks!
Two points:
In order to make a phone react to a beacon without your app installed (e.g. to launch a PlayStore page) you need an app prei-nstalled on all phones that does this for you. The Google Play Services app used to do this through the Nearby feature, but it was discontinued in Nov. 2018 because of spam concerns. Since then this is no longer possible to do.
If you do have your app installed it is a straightforward process to detect in the background and send notifications. The Android Beacon Library provides instructions here:. https://altbeacon.github.io/android-beacon-library/notifications.html
You could create a BoradcastReceiver that intercept the android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED.
In that way, you can launch a part of your app when you turn on the device.
There, you can use a Service or something that can manage the interactions with Beacons.
(BTW, i never worked with Beacons, i don't know what are the policies that you must follow).
If you don't need to launch the app when the device is turned on, anyway you can use a simple Service

I'm having a problem receiving push notifications to an Android Chrome PWA when no Chrome apps are running. I can reproduce this with 3 different public web-push examples. The first question is should a web-push example work the same as a PWA with web-push? That is, should a web push on Android be able to be received and display a notification even if the browser is not running. Docs seem to say yes. Why does the test below not confirm this.
Problem Description
The problem does not affect Firefox. There are other posts that have attributed similar behavior to the payload of the message (data and/or notification) or the battery optimization settings. Altering these variables doesn't seem to improve my situation. Here's a method for reproducing the problem using one of the online examples (Thanks to Carlos for pulling this together..see code here).
Reproduction Steps
Open up Carlos demo on your Android phone. Accept the notification permissions and ensure that you can send yourself a notification.
Open up the same page on another machine. Ensure that you can send your phone a push notification using the "Send to all subscribers immediatelly"[sic] function.
Kill all the Chrome apps on your android device. To be on the safe side, kill all your running apps cause I've found it not obvious what's using chrome and I think this has confused a lot of previous posts/answers.
Repeat step 2 on the second machine. You should not get the notification on Chrome.
Once you're convinced the message is not coming, open any Chrome app. After a few seconds, you should receive the notifications.
Repeat all of the above with Firefox on Android and you will get the notification in step 4.
You can run a similar tests here or here.
There are several bugs related to this issue on Chrome. The problem is resolved in Chrome Dev 74 which is due to be stable on Apr 23, 2019.
I was trying to port my existing app from SW 1 to SW 2 and stumbled upon the limitation that it is not allowed to have notifications and a control for the same app (even when setting LAUNCH_MODE to CONTROL).
As a workaround I tried to register 2 services, one for the notification and one for the control. As they share the same app package name, this didn't work and only the first that registered was available.
Is there a better workaround?
Or will this limitation be addressed in a future update? My app really depends on both, the notifications and the control.
A distant workaround may be to use only the Control, and build some sort of a notification mechanism as part of the Control. I did exactly that in my Log app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eir.log
The notification mechanism is triggered by a different event, in the same BroadcastReceiver. Works wonderfully for me.
I believe this is indeed not possible today. One option for you would be to start up your control extension from a notification list item. So from where you read your notification you can enable a menu and then in that option start up your control. Have a look at the SMS app to get an idea.
Not possible and no workaround available. We have to wait for Sony to fix this issue though they haven't mentioned when they will address it.
We have posted a blog on Sony Developer World regarding this topic:

Alex is looking for a more detailed answer to this question:
Trying to find out that is the Google URL that needs to be blocked in Pi-hole to make the update notification go away.
We have 2 candidate URLs so far.
I have an application running on phones that aren't meant to be touched or interacted with in any way. I want my application to run correctly 24/7/365.
The only issue I'm having is that every few weeks or so, a notification pops up about updating the firmware on the device. It doesn't immediately interrupt the app running but after a few days of no one accepting/declining the firmware download, the app crashes.
Is there any way (either programatically or by changing phone settings) to disable these firmware update popups, or to disable automated firmware updating in general?
Thank you very much!!
3 easy steps:
1. Install free System Tuner
2. Go to Startups
3. Select Google Services Framework
4. Uncheck SystemUpdateInstallDialog and SystemUpdateInstallDownloadDialog
IMPORTANT: You need a rooted device to run this app!
Simple and easy way to stop the system update notification...

To avoid confusion with the original question I'll repeat the Bounty-Question by Alex first:
Does anyone know what is the URL of google that we can block in Pi-Hole to make the notification go away?
All HTTP-based messages -- including push notifications -- via Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) backend go through the server-side endpoint https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send, as described in the reference on the Firebase Cloud Messaging HTTP protocol. The client-side endpoint doesn't seem to be publicly documented, however one can suppose that blocking https://fcm.googleapis.com should do the job.
Analogously all XMPP-based messages go through the endpoint fcm-xmpp.googleapis.com, as documented in the reference on the Firebase Cloud Messaging XMPP protocol.
Yes, it is possible
Settings
Goto "settings"
find the "about phone" or "system" entry in settings
look ofr the "software update" or "system update" option
There should be a 3dotted menu with "settings", or a direct link to Download and install updates automatically.
turn it off.
3rd party
You may also consider (this is what I personally do) installing 3rd party software like NetGuard (for example) and disable internet connection to the system process that checks for updates. If there is no internet connection for the software/app it will not badger you with notifications.
Turn off notifications
Got to the settings of the app responsible for updates. And turn off all permissions related to notifications.
You won't be badgered with the notifications.
on android in the notification bar you can press the notification long time. than an info button should appear. when you click this button you get the system app, which creates the notification. then in the settings of this app you can block every notification. just block all. maybe you will miss other important notifications, i don't know.
