Stopping Pop-Up Notifications Tab A

[THE POTZ]

I bought a Galaxy Tab A and I constantly get the pop-up / drop down notifications when I'm using my tablet. The big white bar that drops down is ugly and intrusive, yet I still get the small task bar notification on top behind it, (which is what I'm used to and prefer). It makes no sense why I would get notifications in two different formats. **How do I disable the white, rectangular pop-up notifications?** Never had this problem on my old tabS and Note4.

Hi, what is the notification for? what does it say and what does it ask you to do?
