Weird notification ads.

[bo waleed]

Sometimes a notification ad appears and when i click it it goes to googleplay.

Anyway to stop these ads ?

Also the previous ad that appears before was a pervert ad(yes a pervert video not app), WTH is this ?

You will usually get this after you download an app that has this feature delete the app that you got right before this started.

So if it started i can't stop it ?

Which kind of app do this ?

Instead of or as well as having in-app ads, some apps have notification ads. I installed Easy MP3 downloader and this uses the notification ads which do get annoying but there is no way to stop them without uninstalling the app AFAIK.

There's a sticky about this over in Android Applications, also linked in the Android Lounge's "Android Things to Know" sticky.

There can be a delay between installation and the first ads appearing, so if you are installing apps frequently it may not be the most recent install that's responsible. There are a number of apps that can detect this stuff, and that post has links to a few of them. Anecdotally, just from reading other threads on this, my impression is that Addons Detector is the most successful at the moment.

The easiest way to stop it is to identify the app that's doing it and uninstall it.

How to know which app does this ?

 

[Hadron]

There are apps (linked in that post) which will identify the culprit for you.

I have found these using Airpush Detector, available in the Google Play Store.

I had one of the live wallpaper fish aquarium apps put those ads up. I switched to another one and it works without them.

There are also apps you can install that look for and stop those ads.
