Kind of a stupid question.
Poking around settings > more > application manager, whenever I click on an app, I see a checkbox for "Show Notifications" and that box is checked.
I didn't check it. I mean, I am absolutely positive I didn't check it, because unless it is one of a select few apps (like, say, mail or messaging) I don't want any damn notifications.
In fact, there are several applications (for example, Twitter or Groupon) in which I have turned off the notifications from the settings within the app itself, yet, when I check the application manager, those apps also have the "Show Notifications" checkbox checked. (I haven't been getting notifications from those apps, though. I figure the in-app settings override the application manager in this regard.)
But, I have started picking up notifications from apps I've rarely (if ever) opened, and certainly have no interest in hearing from. (Flipbook, for one -- I only opened that once to see what the heck it was.)
I am curious: Did the "Show Notifications" checkbox in the Application Manager always exist? Or is that a new modification with Kit Kat? (And is there any way to change the default to "Don't show any damn notifications?" or do I have to go through each and every app in the app manager to turn off the unwanted notifications?)
