Toast Source

About this app

Have you ever encountered toast messages generated by an unknown app?

If so, this app can help you track down their source. It will show a notification with originating program's name, icon or save info about a toast, so you can check it later. Then, you can quickly launch it or go to a system screen with more info about the app.

IMPORTANT:
For app to work, you must launch it and click "ENABLE SERVICE" button which will open system settings panel with a list of available accessibility services. There, go to "Toast Source Detection Service" and enable it. After finding out problematic app, you can disable service without any worries.

App does not have internet permission, so it won't be able to send toast contents to me or anybody else.

This app uses Accessibility services. They are used for detecting toasts and reading their contents as well as metadata (like name and identifier of the app that generated a toast).

Ratings and reviews

Excellent app. I have two annoying toasts popping up. One says "already copied to clipboard" every time I paste something. This app helped me find that Samsung Keyboard was responsible. But it didn't pick up the source of another toast which says "no internet connection" and "your internet was restored." Any idea how I can find the source of that one?

After a recent update, I started getting a gray box with "Failed to load". It was really a nuisance because it was right in the middle of my screen and it made text messages impossible to read. Had I known it was something so simple as an app notification from a website that apparently reloads every 30 seconds it would have driven me nuts! It was fixed just seconds after I downloaded Toast Source. Thanks to the developers for creating a solution to those of us who are not so savvy!

What a lifesaver! I've been tormented by this toast from this app that I haven't even opened in weeks. Why this isn't built into Android OS as part of the notification tracker is a mystery to me. But after some hours of research and going through settings, removing random apps, Toast Source found the culprit within seconds!
