Android 5.0 Lollipop was introduced with some incredible features, and one of them was the heads-up notification. The rather neat way of previewing incoming messages and notifications has been popular enough to be brought to Android 6.0 Marshmallow. A major difference between the two versions is that while the feature was mandatory for Lollipop users, you can turn off heads - up notifications in Android Marshmallow.Android prides itself on giving power to the users, and that is exactly what you get when it comes to handling notifications. Marshmallow users can choose to turn off heads-up notifications per app from the Settings menu with ease.Open the Settings App in your device’s app drawer, or simply press the gear icon in the notification drawer. Scroll down to find the “Sound & notification” tab and then tap on “App notifications”.turn off heads-up notificationsYou will now be able to view a list of apps that are installed on your device. To disable heads-up notification for a specific app, tap on the app icon to view other notification options.
