Hi I am new to Android, now trying to set up a Samsung Note II.
I am also having this problem. I moved from iPhone where you can disable the notification in whatspp completely but in Adroid environment this appears not possible. I can now only disable the "popup notification" but whenever a whatsapp message comes in, it still appears in the notification bar (for 1 second) and is also appearing when the "flip-down" the screen where you see again the notification message. I want to disable these as well.
Anyone knows something?
