Manage notifications

Notifications report the arrival of new messages, calendar events, and alarms, as well as ongoing events, such as when you've configured your phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot.

When you receive a notification, its icon appears in the top left corner of the screen. Depending on your Sound settings, you may also hear a sound.

SSee your notifications: Swipe your finger down from the top of the screen.

SRespond to a notification: Touch it.

SDismiss a notification: Swipe it sideways.

SDismiss all notifications: Touch the X in the top right corner.

Tip When the list of notifications is open, you can also get to Settings by touching the Quick Settings icon at the top of the list. This provides a quick way to get to Settings from any screen.

Most apps that send notifications, such as Gmail and Google Talk, have notification settings that you can adjust.
