ok but what head unit do you have? is it android? or just supports android?

and i'm not sure what you mean by green notification area? do you have a screen shot?
 
it's android compatible , yes it supports Android Auto. Notification area, i mean where it tells you how log time is left, next direction, the arrow, and so on. I will send a screenshot when i get home from work
 
I think this is what Android Auto does when using Maps for navigation: it puts up a big green box telling you what road you are on that fills a large part of the screen.

I encountered this last week, tried to find a way of getting rid of it, but the only promising looking result was some YouTube video and I wasn't going to spend 5 minutes watching a video to get 20 words of information, so don't know whether it actually had an answer or not.

However, I'm afraid we can't fix this for you. This is a discussion forum for android users: we're not Google, and we cannot implement changes in Google's apps. You could try complaining to Google about this poor design: they are not noted for listening to their users, but you never know...
