Features & Capabilities

Navbar Notifications Button is an innovative Chrome extension designed to enhance your Android device's usability by adding a dedicated notifications button to the navigation bar. This button provides quick access to your notifications, eliminating the need to swipe down from the top of the screen. Simply tap to pull down notifications or customize the button's secondary and double-tap actions to open quick settings or the latest notification.

Note that this extension requires the standard Android navigation bar with Back, Home, and Recents buttons enabled. It isn't compatible with gesture navigation or devices having physical navigation buttons. It also requires accessibility permissions strictly to enable its functionality without processing other data. Certain limitations apply on Huawei and ColorOS 12 devices regarding secondary tap actions. This tool streamlines notification management, making it easier and faster to keep up with your messages from any app.

perfect, except the settings frequently have to be reset

Had on Samsung A50 for yrs. Worked perfectly, thanks. Upgraded to Samsung S24+. Not working. Installs and works, then phone disables it. Well, after a lot of confusion... finally, I was able to find the setting that keeps it active. It works 100% now. I'm happy.
