The Android Lollipop and the later Android OS versions have introduced the heads-up notification features for Smartphones. This feature is very useful for us as we do not need to scroll down the notification bar every time to view the messages and other notifications at all. But sometimes these notifications really create some disturbances while you are going to watch videos or playing games on Android. Some brands of smartphones are there in which you can get the option to turn off this feature from the settings. But most of the ROMs do not have the feature to turn off that heads-up notification.

So to get rid of that annoying condition we are going to show you all some procedures to turn that feature off. After turning off this feature, you can again view the notification by scrolling down your notification bar like the old version. There are several steps included in each procedure that you need to perform to block heads-up notifications. Let’s have a look at the procedures given below.
