I'm using an LG G4, and have been having some battery draining issues the lat couple days and then this morning I had a strange notification appear that said "Good Morning! Good day! Happy day!"

I'm not sure if they are related at all. this is the first time I've ever seen this notification. I don't know what it is. I have not tapped on it, or cleared it. I did a scan using Avast, and it didn't come up with any issues. I've attached screen shots of the notification, as well as the strange batter behavior.

On Friday, my batter was unusually low after very little use, so I plugged it in around 2 PM. It charged till 4PM at which point it started draining while still plugged in. Last night I plugged it in around midnight, and it looks like it took about 5 hours to hit 100%, which seems slow.

I've restarted the phone a couple times. Any ideas if these two things are related, and what the deal is with that notification?

Thanks for any help you may be able to offer.

Hold down on the notification and it should tell you what app it is coming from.
 
What does your battery usage screen look like during these sessions? (Settings => Battery => Battery usage)

What does your running services screen look like? Any unusual or un-needed app activity? (Enable developer mode by repeatedly tapping the build number. Settings => developer options => Running services). Note its normal and healthy for Android and apps to run services in the background. The ones with the green android logo, and silver metallic Android System logo are system processes, these are best left alone. Its the bloatware, crap-ware, or bundle-ware packaged "Stuff" that are the ones you are targeting. Any app you have never used, or rarely use, that shows up using system resources you should think twice about keeping/deleting.

From there trim down (delete and un-install) un-needed apps. Deactivate and un-install bloatware you don't need. Certainly if you are using one of those RAM or battery optimizers, dont... they hinder the OS.

From there, dial back app permissions.

In the Application manager select "Restrict background data" for those apps that you really don't need it. Sometimes clearing app cache helps too.

Good Luck!!
