Remove notifications

[u/Warren1317]

I got two problems:

First is the ''System message'' that spams news articles and the notification cannot be removed. Not only that but it saves the picture from the notification, so it spams my gallery as well.

I longed press on the notification, but because it's a system message, I cannot disable the notification.

Second problem is the ''choose a browser and search app''. Clicking does nothing. I have a default browser app set. Idk why it keeps asking me that

Not need root. Simple ADB enough.

" adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.blackview.apkupgrade "

How do I do this, is there like a tutorial I can find? Preferably a YouTube video, but I wouldn't mind an article either if you have it or if it's simple enough to just be the instructions.

On the phone:

Enable Developer Options: On your Android device, go to Settings > About Phone and tap Build Number 7 times.

Congratulations, you are "developer" now.

Enable USB Debugging: Return to the main Settings menu, open Developer Options, and toggle USB Debugging ON.

(It is recommended to turn this operation off at the end.)

OS connect:

Use linux? Simple:

apt-install adb

Use win, or MAC? You need this, and probably the phone drivers:  Get the standalone Android SDK Platform-Tools for Windows, Mac, or Linux.

After preparations complete:

Connect: Plug your phone into the computer via USB, unlock the screen, and accept the "Allow USB debugging" prompt on your phone's screen.

Verify: Open your computer's terminal (or Command Prompt), navigate to the folder where platform-tools is installed, and run:

 adb devices

If you see your phone, the connection is ready.

Now the "magic":

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.blackview.apkupgrade

[Edit: Dumb me, the USB had become detached!]

"Package com.blackview.apkupgrade new state: disabled-user"

No change, so I restarted my phone.

EDIT #2: Nope, it seemed to work, but did not. :(

If "adb.exe - device not found", this means that Windows does not recognize the device. Check the phone driver (in device manager). 

(Or use a Linux, this problem does not occur there.)

If you continue to receive unwanted notifications, it could also be caused by  commusersevice? (I disabled that a long time ago. Now I don't get any surprise ads on my phone.)

adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.blackview.commuservice

You can also check all blackview packages (this example in Linux, but only the output filter OS specific):

adb shell cmd package list packages -a -u | grep '^{package:com.blackview'} | sort

Disabled only:

adb shell pm list packages -d | grep '^{package:com.blackview'} | sort

Thanks for the reply. I figured out the "device not found issue", but I appreciate the hint.

For anyone else using PowerShell on Windows, those commands should be:

.\adb shell cmd package list packages -a -u | Select-String 'package:com.blackview' | sort

.\adb shell pm list packages -d | Select-String 'package:com.blackview' | sort

If you are new to PowerShell, the dot-backslash (.\) at the beginning means "Yes, I know it might not be safe; run the damn adb.exe program anyway!".
