  • Is there any way to stop Google notifications at turn on?

    From Chris Green@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jul 14 09:56:47 2023
    Whenever I 'open' my phone I get the same old notifications that I
    don't want to know about:-

    Google Play Services
    Your data isn't backed up.....

    Nfc Service
    NFC
    Touch to view setting details

    Is there any way to prevent these appearing every time I turn on?

    The simplest answer is "yes, of course there is", as I don't ever get them simply because I have NFC turned off and Google Play Services disabled.

    But that's not what you wanted to hear.

    While I strongly suspect you can turn ANY NOTIFICATION off by messing with
    your notification settings, what happens when you "touch" to view settings?

    Is there an option when you touch there that can make them go away?

    Under Settings > Apps > WhicheverApp > Notifications

    You should be able to disable one or more types of notification

    I certainly want to disable Google Play Services, how do I do that?

    Yes it is! :-)

    When I touch what?

    When I touch the NFC notification is says "These notifications can't
    be modified".

    Ah, yes, thank you.

    Assuming you're not rooted (most people aren't), all you do is find it,
    force stop it, and then force disable it from the Android settings.

    I do it from my app manager but you can do it from adb also if you like.
    The app manager finds everything even if the app drawer doesn't show it.

    So does adb show everything that is on the phone even if you can't see it.

    Find it.
    adb shell pm list packages | findstr com.google.android.gms

    Stop it.
    adb shell am force-stop com.google.android.gms

    Disable it.
    adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.gms

    Remove it.
    adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.gms

    All that works with or without a PC and with or without root.

    This is covered many times in this newsgroup, so just look it up if you
    need more data as there's no sense repeating it a thousand more times. http://groups.google.com/g/comp.mobile.android (search from there)

    Also, since everyone disables Google Play Services, it's all over the net. https://www.google.com/search?q=disable+google+play+services

    Here's just the first hit but there are plenty of other similar hits. https://www.imobie.com/support/uninstall-google-play-services.htm
