[Q] Disabling heads up notifications on Lollipop - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've updated my WhatsApp last night to v2.11.476 and it starts showing heads up notifications that, no matter what i try, unable to turn off. This only happens to individual chats though. Group chats still behave like before, i.e. icon just show up in the notification bar.
I also cant disable the vibrations no matter which settings i use. This is driving me nuts. Is there a way i can tun the heads up notifications off ONLY for specific apps? I suppose once I'm able to do this the problem with the vibrations will go off too.
Thanks.

With HeadsOff lollipop heads-up notifications can now be disabled!
No root needed.
You can also restore the ticker text in the statusbar!

Jelly Bean Notification Vibrations

Hey guys so I was wondering if there's a way to manage the notifications for apps separately. From what I understand this is a new feature of 4.2. I know I can get around it in liquidsmooth but I'm now back on touchwiz and would like a work around.
So here's the issue...
When in vibrate mode all notifications vibrate if the app's settings have sound notifications on. It doesn't matter if I uncheck vibrate in the app's settings.
What I would like to do is...
Be able to be in these three modes
1) silent mode - every notification is silent
2) vibrate mode - my texts, Google voice, Facebook messenger, and hangouts notifications vibrate, NOT my emails and various push notifications
3) sound mode - all notifications make a sound
This has been possible in previous versions of android and in aosp roms but haven't found a way to in touchwiz yet, haven't even found an app to manage notifications. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

[Q] Disable HeadsUP Popup Notifications on Lollipop

Hey guys. Is there a way to completely disable heads-up notification that pops up on android lolllipop?
I know some apps can disable it (whatsapp plus could =[ ... )
Some custom ROMS, such as Resurrection Remix implemented a swich to completely disable the popups and show notifications just like android 4.4.4 and below.
Is there a way to disable them? Could be with root.
PLEASE!
I hate it! it shows on games, and even on CAMERA!
(i know about "priority mode", but it is not the same,.... i want to still get notified, without loosing part of the screen)
Hey Yuri, I'm with you. I'm also looking for a way to disable heads-up. Whatsapp's are the most annoying.
actually.
With HeadsOff lollipop heads-up notifications can now be disabled!
No root needed.

[Q] How to disable heads up notification only in 1 app

I know that there are some ways to restore ticker notifications and disable this kind of notifications.

Thank you all.

Notification questions

I'm new to the Samsung phones and can't seem to get notifications to show up on my lockscreen or get the led to flash. I know you have to set this up per app in settings but I can't seem to find an option that allows for this with notification sound turned off. I'm especially having issues with Twitter and Gmail.
TIA for the help.
If your profile is "silent" or "vibrate", the notification sound won't come out.

Questions about pop-up notifications

So I just recently bought this device about 3 days ago. I'm a former iOS user and I'm really missing pop-up notifications on this device.
I'm aware that they do exist and work, but not in my case.
I've tried setting setting up App launch, Notification management settings, manually checking if an app like Messenger has notifications enabled.
I am getting notifications to my lock screen and status bar, sound and vibration, but I'm not getting pop up notifications while I'm doing something on my phone which is really annoying.
I've also disabled notifications on the status bar, but I'm pretty sure that's not the problem.
Another thing I've tried is using a fake notification app and setting up a custom notification. It works just like described above while the priority is set to 'normal'. When I set it to 'high' priority, only then it gives me a pop up notification.
Sorry if I'm not very clear on this.
I'm running EMUI 8.2.0 and Android 8.1.0, also using Nova launcher prime if that's any useful info.
Thanks
