Help shutting off the notifications banner while in fullscreen mode on the GS5 5.0

[Brett Worman]

I recently updated my GS5 to the new 5.0 and now I get a notification banner that pops up while in fullscreen mode telling me that I have a Facebook alert or another alert along those lines. I don't want to shut off the alerts completely, I just don't want those alerts while playing a game because they eat up a third of the screen. I have tried searching and have not been able to find an answer. Thanks!

It has something to do with how you set up your notifications and what is deemed a priority....this might help:
