Rubber: erase "running in the background" notifs

Laurent Pellegrino

About this app

Android O includes a variety of system changes. The persistent notifications "X is running in the background" or "apps are running in the background" are one of these changes. Unfortunately, there is no built-in option to whitelist apps which are OK.

The purpose of this app is to remove such a boring persistent notification. Keep the app installed and such annoying notifications will never appear again.

Ratings and reviews

This app is a great idea. Unfortunately it didn't work on my phone. The "is using battery" notification is still there, but Rubber says "No is running in the background notification detected".

"What it says on the tin," as they say. 👍🏻

Was using another app that did the same thing, but it broke after an update. This one still works. Pixel XL

What's new

This is the first version. Enjoy!
