Dismiss Cards
When you’re finished with a card, just slide it left or right to dismiss it from the Google Now screen.

Adjust Notifications
When a card has a new update, you’ll receive a notification at the bottom of your screen. You can tap the icon in the Notification Tray to open the card or dismiss the notification.
Most notifications for Now cards can be turned off or set to low priority or standard priority. Low priority notifications appear at the bottom of the notifications shade without any additional signal. Standard notifications appear like the others, in chronological order, and you can set vibration and a ringtone to accompany them.

•When the card appears, tap Menu icon 
> Settings on the card.
•From the lower right corner of the Google Now screen, tap Menu icon 
> Settings > Google Now > [card name] > Notifications.
To change ringtone and vibrate options for all standard notifications, start from the Google Now screen, tap Menu icon 
> Settings > Google Now, and adjust the options under Standard Notifications.
