Duplicating BlackBerry's notification profiles

[hornakapopolis]

I did a few searches and looked at the BlackBerry User's Guide to Android, but haven't found anything that matched what I was looking for.

Is there a way or app that duplicates BlackBerry's notification profile functionality. Currently on my BlackBerry, I have profiles setup to turn off all notifications except the phone's ringer, one that turns off all notifications except for the ringer and the one app I use to communicate with my employees, and then there's the standard 'Silent,' 'Vibrate Only' which I know used to be accomplished in Android by holding the volume down until it vibrated and then once more for silent. It's the functionality of the other two that I'm really wondering about.

Currently, I can tap an icon and switch between theses profiles. I haven't used Android (outside of tablets on which I don't use notifications) since purchasing the Galaxy S3, but back then, I only found a couple of apps that duplicated this functionality, but none worked reliably. I know v4 or v5 really changed notifications, so I'm hoping this is now possible natively (I couldn't figure it out on my Nexus 7) or that the app functionality has gotten better.

I typically have a lot of apps and turning off every individual one just isn't an option.

I appreciate the help.

I am waiting for this also desperately. I am forced to leave my beloved Q5 and BB10 OS, and now with android phone Huawei P Smart 2019 with android 9 installed, the using is awfull in manner of our previous BlackBerry 10 notifications.

I know how you feel. I miss the functionality of the Blackberry os and hope it makes a comeback one day. Maybe you could try using a Blackberry style launcher that would give your phone the feel of a Blackberry? I'm sorry I couldn't help more. What I liked about Blackberry was how functional it was, easy to use, navigate (although Android is kind of like that for me), but sometimes I feel nostalgic and miss my blackberry phone, especially the tactile keyboard.

Again, sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
