Soon after getting my A5 I start seeing notifications with the flipboard symbol on them. So I go to settings to disable the app and its not there! Maybe I've been naive all these years using android. Or maybe its something on newer versions of the OS I've never encountered. But I thought all the apps that made the phone function were on that list. Having noticed that I also noticed all the "com." Apps you were not supposed to touch when rooted dont show in my apps list either. So can you get to see all apps that are not shown kn the all apps section of settings?
 
Check if you didn't hide the app before. It shows up fine in all of the Samsung phones I've owned (shows as 'Briefing'). Can't remember if you can uninstall it or disable it, but it does show and it can be at least disabled from the launcher (if you're using stock). If you use a different launcher, Briefing is not available but, if not disabled, might still be showing you notifications.
 
SpookDroid thanks for the help. On my phone I have to go to system>apps then hit the menue icon in the top right corner then system apps and its in there. And that takes care of my other concern about not being able to find the system apps.
