Remove the icon form the notification bar
Remove the icon form the notification bar
Hi,
A feature that some users seem to already be asking for: the possibility to remove the ABP icon from the notification bar (in an opt-out scheme).
Seconded by the fact that users install ABP primarily to avoid being annoyed, and it thus includes the APB icon too.

Re: Remove the icon form the notification bar
Maybe adding the possibility to replace the current icon with a transparent pixel? (even if it's only a workaround, and that a transparent icon still takes some place in the notification bar)

Re: Remove the icon form the notification bar
The developers have to keep a notification to avoid the Android garbage collector from shutting it down.
If you have ICS or later you can go to Settings->Apps->Adblock Plus and untick the 'show notifications' box.

ability to remove icon from notification bar or icon with numbers of blocked adds
Re: Remove the icon form the notification bar
This is annoying quite a lot of users, so I think it definitely needs to get addressed. I've started a new thread to discuss what we can do about it.
Unchecking show notifications does appear to work just fine, I've tested that for a while, running several memory hungry apps. ABP survives.

Sorry for starting a new thread, but I thought it makes sense to not mix up discussions on workarounds and development here.

I have a Droid Bionic running ICS but there is nothing to untick when I follow your directions.
