@Mac1048if you pull down notification panel, you'll see that the notification says that some app is running in background. you haven't seen it before because it's been introduced in Android Oreo.

Google the issue and you will see that there are some apps in the Play Store that can hide it for you. Yes it takes an app running in the background to hide the notification that an APP IS RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND!!!!!!!

Google has finally lost their minds if they think people want this! At lease make a toggle so we can turn it off if we want to!

I am using AutoNotification to hide that annoying message. Here is the guide how to get rid of it (change "running in the background" for your language you use on XZP). Or just simply install this app from GP.

@lesmil @Mac1048 @StanleyKubrick @tavishYou can remove the icon but the processes will be shown when dragging down the notification bar. Do this: tap longer on the notification, select all categories, scroll down to apps running in the background, importance, low: no sound or visual interruption.

Thx for that. But with AutoNotification it is not shown when dragging the notification bar down. I will disable it just to try your method
