How to Hide Notification Bar on Android Devices
Notification Bar (Action Bar) can display screenshots, notifications from different apps with a quick swipe down. You can close a notification with a simple wipe to the right or open an app by clicking on the notification. Quick settings are also displayed here. You can enable or disable Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Mobile Data, Location, Airplane mode, Auto-Rotate, adjust Screen Brightness and so on. If you press and hold down an icon, you will be taken to the corresponding settings page for that function.
