Persistent Android notifications

Android requires a persistent (ongoing) notification while Paralino runs the location sharing service in the background. That notification keeps the service active and makes it clear to you that your location is being shared with others.

If you do not like that behaviour you can simply turn off those notifications manually. Other Paralino notifications for events like place alerts, battery notifications, etc. are unchanged, and location sharing stays on.

How to turn off the persistent Android notifications#

1. Swipe down from the top of the screen to open the notification drawer (notification centre).
2. Long-press the Paralino notification, and you will see additional notification options.
3. Either tap Turn off, or tap the settings (gear) icon to open the notification settings.

From there you can either turn off or minimize that specific notification.

If you are using de-googled version of Paralino on Android, you can follow the same steps to turn off Push notification service notification.

All other Paralino notifications will still arrive as they did before, and location sharing will remain active.
