stop adds on android

By -

One of the key components of the Android OS has always been the notifications system where you get all kinds of notifications in the notification bar. Sadly, some app developers seem to abuse it by putting ads there. If you have many apps installed, it becomes annoying to see all these notifications.
To fix this problem, the best way is to block the ads on certain apps to not appearing. If you have Android phone running 4.1 Jelly Bean or higher, you can easily block this ads by turning off notifications for an app. Here I will show you how to do it.
If you already know the apps which displaying ads, just go to the Settings -> Application Manager, then tap the required app to open the App Info pane.
Uncheck the box next to the “Show notifications” and tap ‘OK’ to the warning that appears.
And you are done.
If you don’t know the apps which displaying ads, then follow the following steps:
Pull down the notification bar and long press on the advertisement.

A box labeled ‘App info’ will appear below the notification.
Tap that box and repeat the steps mentioned above, you can also uninstall this app if it’s not of much use to you. This will not only stop the apps from sending ads but will also free up some space on your phone’s storage.

You can always re-enable the notifications by going back into the app settings and rechecking the ‘Show notifications’ box.
What can I do if I’m using Android 4.0 (ICS) or an older version of Android?
There is not much you can do in this case as those versions do not provide an option to block notifications on your phone. The only solution to fix this annoying problem is to remove the app that is displaying and allowing the ads on notification bar. However, you have installed several apps, then finding the culprit is very hard. To make it easy, you can download AirPush Detector app that is available for free at Google play store.
This app will automatically search all of your apps to find the offensive app and then displays you a list. Now you can remove all the apps that are displayed in the list to stop those notification bar ads.

As the music begins to play, a soft breeze fills the space with the undeniable smell of magnolia blossoms. She gracefully enters and begins a “tree pose” with her hands in Namaste form. Our female figure is inspired by the Indian culture for its gorgeous use of color and the grace of its yoga formations. I hope you’ll enjoy the journey as we retrace, step by step to enlightenment.  1. Becoming Flesh and Blood Step 1 Our first step will be to bring in our sketch. I've scanned her in at 300 dpi to catch as much of the detail as possible. I'm not as picky about my choice of initial drawing tools, and this particular project was completed with a mechanical pencil. We'll be working with a clean line quality from Adobe Photoshop and now we can begin to work. I'm working in Adobe Illustrator at a size of 8.5 x 11 inches for this specific project. When I'm ready to start my layers, I'll label my first layer as "Sketch" and lock the layer to make su...

In this tutorial, we are going to design a set of icons in Adobe Photoshop. An icon set needs to have the same background and theme. For learning purposes, we are going to design a sun icon, an ice flake icon, and an RSS icon. Let's get started. 1. Preparing the Canvas Step 1 Start by making a new file with size 350 px × 350 px . Click the small box next to the  Background Contents  option to change the new canvas color. Step 2 In the Color Picker dialog box, select grey ( #e0e0e2 ) for the canvas background color.
