Stop swiped away notifications from coming back?

[Richard Feynman]

I often swipe away notifications. But it's pointless because they are goddamed determined that I'm gonna look at them. The disappear for a while, only to come back. Only way to get rid of them is to tap the item and go to the app, at which point it will finally stop harassing me.

Is there a setting somewhere I can change this? I've looked but can't find anything. Obviously I'm referring to notifications from apps that i want to notify me, otherwise I'd just turn them off altogether.

Thanks

I am not sure if this is on KitKat or Lollipop, but it is on Marshmallow and later, but try this: Tap and hold the notification, then tap the crossed out bell. That particular notification will be banned from ever annoying you again.

OP, could you give us a few examples of applications that continue to generate the same notification after you've swiped it away?

You can use something like Share Apps https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...?id=com.theronrogers.shareapps&token=ltS3amsn to generate links to the offending applications.

I say 'offending' because I haven't noticed the behavior that you describe.

Depending on the app, you may be able to change notification behavior in the app's Settings. Some apps, like most all security apps, default to persistent (i.e., unremovable) notifications, and you have to knock that crap off in Settings.
