G6: Simple software bug - only on my phone? - Moto G6 Questions & Answers

Hello. I have a small software bug (Motorola G6).
When I long press on the home screen --> settings --> icon badging --> the phone enters notifications.
Upon entering the menu the second menu option "Allow notification dots" blinks twice (or better explained, gets highlighted twice)
Does your phone also have that blinking of the second menu option?

icon badging?
I don't have anything like that, the only thing to do with icons for me is called change icon shape.
though when i do enter the notification dots menu the allow notification dots option does blink twice.

Yes, it is the notification dots option that blinks twice. Then it is not just my phone.
It does not do so when I enter it via the usual settings --> Apps & Notifications --> Notifications.
It's weird, that the option on your phone isn't called icon badging. It is so on mine when I switch from German to English UK. It's the third option from the top anyways. In German "Logosymbole".

Can't disable notification icon.

I've disabled "Display message on screen" for "Messaging: new MMS" in the Sounds & Notifications control panel.
When I get a new sms, I get the sms icon at the top of me screen which is great.
I'm still getting another icon on the top to indicate a notification, and while in the Today screen, it also changes the left soft key to say "Notification"
I don't want any notification icons, or soft keys that say Notification. The sms icon is sufficient enough. I thought I had it working without any notification at all (except for the sms icon) but now it's not working anymore.
Any ideas?

Notification Access

Does anyone know where I can find the Notification Access option? I tried looking through the settings, but couldn't find anything. Thank you in advance.
It doesn't appear they put a link for it in the rom, I don't think it's the only thing they left out.
Two ways to do this.
1. Install "Light Flow", it will ask you to turn on Notification Access and open it for you. Don't enable it for Light Flow or you won't be able to get back there using Light Flow.
2. Buy and run Nova Launcher Prime, then install TeslaUnread, run it and tap on Notification Bar Watcher to open the notification access setting.
If you use Nova Launcher, you can create a shortcut to almost any settings menu with their activities widget. Other launchers may be similar.
1. Press and hold to bring up the settings options.
2. Choose Widget
3. Under Nova Launcher at the top choose "activities". Press and hold to drop to the screen.
4. Scroll down the menu that pops up until you get to "settings".
5. Press the arrow on the left of settings and then scroll and select the item you want. In this case it would be "notification access".
Sorry for the late notice. I was able to get access to the Notification Access by installing the Mi Band Notify. I was setting up the Xiaomi Mi Band to alert me when I received text messages. As soon as the program was launched, it prompted me to enable the notification access. Thank you for following up.

in settings->notifications-> you have to choose on every app what you want to display or not
There is no Notification in UI. Only "Notification panel & status bar" which doesn't have any settings for lock screen. I've found setting "Show detailed notification info" saying show the message details and sender of a notification on the lock screen, which I've disabled, but I'm still seeing who sent me an email on lock screen.

In notification panel & status bar, there is notifications management. in there you will see all your apps. select one , and disable where you don't want it to apear: banners, lock screen etc.
Thanks, found it.
I found this - it's in settings > notifications and status bar > notifications management > tap the cog in top right > Tap 'When device is locked' and choose the option you want
I solved it..
Go to:
1. Settings
2. Notification & status bar
3. Notification management
4. On top of the screen on the right you see a gear(setting icon) tab on it
5. You see an option (when device is locked) open it and change settings!?
i have a problem with this solution. When i did this i hear notification sounds but when i press the power button i cant see which app push me the notification. I just want to see the whatsapp notification on lock screen but not the message itself.

Did you try by changing Settings / Notifications inside the WhatsApp application
Yes. But nothing changed.
for me just going to whatsapp settings->notifications->popup notifications-> set to off, work.

custom notification for Gmail in OnePlus 3T Orio, Android 8.0 OxygenOs5.0 Won't work

Tried adding a custom notification to Gmail.
Went the usual way: Settings > Sounds > "Ringtone for messages designated as Default" > local ringtones
The list of available tones on the phone comes up, but when i choose the one I want it wont sound, will appear as "chosen" but wont ring when mail comes in.
Red the threads, turned notification into .ogg, put it in same directory where all the notifications are, set -rw-r-r, and rebooted. now it shows on the list, sound when i choose it yet when Gmail gets a new mail the system will use another notification from the default list.
Any ideas ?

When i do that and reach gmail >press "gmail" logo on top> app info> battery> (bottom of scree) battery optimization > text in GRAY "doing optimization to battery" but tapping on the gray text has no reaction.
on the other hand "Gmail" does not appear on the optimization list on settings> battery> battery optimization

Thank you for swift response.
Checked my phone (BtW it's the Hebrew version for Israel) and i have the exact same options marked but the vibration option which i allowed on my phone.
But, when a mail comes in to Gmail the phone chooses a different notification (other then my custom one) and ignores my previous setting

Remove Battery Fully Charged Icon

The little battery icon on the upper left side that shows up in notifications when the battery is fully charged was driving me crazy. After a little digging around, I finally found where to turn it off. Hope this helps others...
1. Go to system settings -> notifications
2. Go to advanced.
3. Click the action bar menu (3 dots in upper right corner)
4. Click "show system apps"
5. Go to "System UI"
6. Click "Battery Full" and turn off the App icon badges and set importance to low.
