Nearly all of us have at least one or two applications we’d hate to be without, unfortunately, these are the ones that spam us with a ton of useless notifications. Sadly, more often than not, this causes us to delete the apps, in an effort to restore some peace in our Notification Panel. However, you may like to know that there is a much simpler fix out there, which allows you to keep the applications and thankfully disable their notifications.

The process is extremely simple. It’s a matter of navigating through the built-in Settings screen, but you do have to know exactly what you’re looking for. To hide the app’s push notifications, you will need to be running Jelly Bean (4.1) and above. Then here’s what to do:

1. Open up Settings.
2. Then, head into Apps.
3. Scroll down and select the application you wish to mute notifications for.
4. You will be presented with a menu screen. Locate the box that reads Show Notifications. It should be checked. Untick it by clicking on the little black box.
5. Click OK when you are asked to confirm the removal of notifications for this specific app.

Voilà! You will no longer receive push notifications from your seleted application. If you run into any issues along the way, do be sure to let us know in the comments section below, and we’ll do our very best to get you back on track.
