How to place a fixed reminder in the notification bar of your Android mobile
Table of contents:
Clueless, today is your lucky day. If you always have to keep placing reminders on your Android mobile and the time and day still pass you by; if your thing is not managing the calendar, because it seems somewhat cumbersome to you; If you prefer simplicity, minimalism... the equivalent of marking yourself with an X on the back of your hand to remember something, you've come to the right space. We are going to teach you how to create a reminder that stays on your mobile, as if it were a notification with a pushpin.
Download Sticky Pins for free and remember everything
We are going to achieve this thanks to a free application that we download from the Android Play Store. Its name is Sticky Pins and it weighs only 719 KB so you can download it whenever you want without your mobile data suffering much. When you download and install it, open it. You will see that its interface is quite curious because it is not a full screen application but a pop-up window from which we are going to configure our notification.
First, let's give the reminder a title. This title will appear in bold in the reminder. Below is the content of the reminder. We recommend you to be concise in order to read the content of the reminder in one goSubsequently, we have two options. The first is the priority of the notification. We can leave the default priority or place it as minimum, low or high. Depending on where we place the priority of the notification, it will appear above or below other notifications that reach our mobile. Later we will qualify our notification as 'Public', 'Private' or 'Secret'. The content of the 'Secret' notifications will be hidden but the notification icon will appear. In addition, depending on the importance of the notification, it will have one color or another, as we see in the second screenshot that we offer you.
A simple app that uses little battery
In the box 'Make pin persistent' we are going to tell the application to leave the notification pinned to the bar. Thus, even if we discard the notifications that we receive at the end of the day, the reminder will continue to appear. Now click on 'Pin' and we will see how it has been created and no matter how hard we try to discard it, it will continue to be placed.If we want to edit it, click on the notification. To discard it, we will simply have to uncheck the aforementioned box and remove it as we would do with any other notification.
If you look, in the pop-up window where we created the reminder, we have a gear icon. If you press it, you will access another window in which we can activate the dark mode of the application as well as prevent a double notification from appearing. Let us explain: when creating the first notification, another will appear next to it, with which we can create a new, by pressing it. If you want it not to appear, we will have to check this box. And if you don't mark it, how can you make another notification? Well, editing the first one you've done. Click on it and change the title, content, etc. That easy!
In addition, the developers of the 'Sticky Notes' app claim that their tool does not work in the background or make use of services from Google so it will not waste battery even if the notification is persistent.
