Enable Ticker Notifications on Lollipop and disable Heads-Up notifications with this cool “Ticklr” app

It’s no surprise that some of us don’t like the new Heads-Up notifications feature on Lollipop, it’s downright annoying at times. However, Google seems to not care about it.

Even on the latest version of Android, Android M developer preview, Google has decided to completely leave the good ol’ ticker notifications behind while still adding an option to disable Heads-Up notification “Peeking” on per app basis. Doesn’t make sense, right? Well, let’s hope the final build of Android M does justice.

Meanwhile, on Lollipop, you could use this cool app called “Ticklr” to enable ticker notifications and also disable heads-up notifications. The app is so cool that it even let’s you to chose ticker notification color on per app basis. Take look at full features of the app below:
