Google prohibits push notifications with advertising

Receive a push notification

Who has not ever received suggestions for new applications or services in the notification bar of their Android device? The worst of all is that many times We do not even know which application is generating this advertising to be able to uninstall it or even disable these notifications.

This fact has caused numerous complaints and has led Google to publish new conditions for developers to submit their applications to Google Play. These were published about a month ago and finally come into force this week.

We all know that nothing is free and this also applies to applications, games and services for our Android devices. If an app doesn't charge to download, it will generally look for get money in another way. In the worst case, they will market our data anonymously, or not. At best, and the most common, they are limited to showing us advertising in the application itself.

However, since Google gave us the opportunity to notify us by push or "pushed" to our device, many developers they took advantage of this feature to send us advertising by this more aggressive method. Airpush companies that have dedicated themselves to it, have obtained enormous benefits with these practices.

Google finally took action on the matter and during the month of August published new conditions that are now beginning to apply. During this period of time, developers should have adapted to the new conditions, since from now on, any application that sends advertising by push will be banned from Google Play, so if our application installation source is this medium, we can be a little more calm.

    Hello, good day, this has happened to me a lot about the advertisements in the notification bar, more than anything with livewallpaper and I really hate them, but while I was digging around a bit, I noticed that in android versions higher than 4.0 if you can know What application is bordering on the notification bar advertising, at the time of the advertising in the notification bar what you have to do is leave on the title of the message and then press the inf button. application, then it will show you the application that is launching the applications and well from there you can kill the application or if you want to uninstall it, greetings

      Thanks LuigBren for your trick. I did not know it and it would have been good for me to know. However, Google's solution is the best. 😉
