It brings functionalities from Android Oreo to your notification center, while also introducing significant customization capabilities that allow your device to stand out. Acting as a replacement for the default notification panel, this app utilizes gesture detection to furnish you with a personalized quick settings menu upon swiping down to access your notifications.
Functionality of accessibility service

- We do not gather any private information through accessibility services.
- We will not access sensitive data displayed on your screen or any content found therein.
- For effective functionality, the app requires Accessibility Permission.
Accessibility services are crucial to enable responses from the system when tapping the top portion of the screen to trigger the shade and retrieve window content. This is essential for automatically clicking certain settings after the user selects toggling those in the app's interface. Personalize your device to enjoy every moment spent using it!
Utilizing Accessibility
The app harnesses Accessibility Services to empower advanced functionalities like gesture controls and integration with system notifications. No personal data collection occurs during this process. The permissions granted facilitate triggering the shade upon a downward swipe and retrieving window content for features like Quick Reply.
Improved User Experience
Media Controls
Material Notification Shade seamlessly integrates media controls within the notification panel, permitting users to manage Music and video playback without needing to switch to distinct applications for each media file on their device. This significantly streamlines media management, as all multimedia-related functions can now be executed from a single screen view—the notification area itself.
Background Styles
Users may personalize the background of their notification panel by selecting from various alternatives such as blur effects, solid colors, or even their own Images as backgrounds. Such customization adds a distinctive flair and aesthetic appeal to any Android device supporting this application.
Notification Grouping
Similar notifications are compiled to minimize space usage, effectively reducing clutter within the notification bar and simplifying the management process for users. Thus, if ten emails are concurrently received from the same sender, rather than displaying ten separate icons, the email app would simply present one icon showcasing the total unread emails from that specific sender.
Enhanced Notifications
Employing the Material Notification Shade allows for expanded notifications, providing more information about each notification right within the expanded mode. There’s no longer a need to open individual apps to catch up on what’s new; all necessary information is conveniently displayed in detail, alongside other pertinent data such as arrival time or sender’s name, thus saving considerable time otherwise spent checking updates manually from different sources individually.
Features Overview

It does not interfere with any aspects of your system, ensuring smooth interAction with your device remains unaffected.
The app leverages some permissions to modify settings that you consciously adjust through the user interface, including toggling Wi-Fi and Bluetooth states, altering screen brightness, rotation lock, etc.

◉ Notification Card Themes:
- Light: conventional notifications.

◉ Quick Settings Panel:
- Select varied colors for the background or foreground (icons) of the quick settings panel.
